HKBU Associate Degree (Visual Arts) Exhibition 2021 – Counterbalance
Visual Arts
Description
Description
This year, the theme of our graduation show is called “Counterbalance”. There are 36 visual art students in total who are going to exhibit their photography and sculpture works throughout the previous semesters, in order to communicate with the outside world. May we invite you to join our dance, face the counter force together with lightness and agileness.
During times like this, there’s some kind of resistance and alienation between the external world and our inner self, which words cannot describe. Wandering among similarities and differences, how can we make use of that tension to feel the world whilst not losing our own balance?
Contact improvisation is commonly found in improvised dancing, which involves a pair or more partners to work with. By exchanging physical weight and impulse, dancers are able to explore the relationship between others’ and their own bodies. This kind of experience seems to articulate our interactions with the outside world. The partner of interaction is no longer limited to one individual only, instead to the surroundings, and even to ourselves. As long as we persistently give and take the energy in between, we may be able to face our emotions and give appropriate responses. We may thus achieve balance only if we grasp each other’s fulcrum.
