Abstract

This art project concerns itself with the notion of travelling space as a continuous state of experience perceived by a traveller, in contrast to something that has previously taken place. Travelling space takes into account the physical movement of a traveller and also that of the space travelled by a viewer - it reveals a dichotomy: that of travelling within a certain space; and the space created through the act of travelling.Travelling space is to negotiate thresholds of seeing, experience, imagination and movement. The travel, made evident through video-trace, installed in spatial arrangements within a gallery context project the possibility of a third dimension to travelling space - that of a homeless state where viewers may abandon the space created by video sequences, to travel a virtual space of their own making.
