THE ZOOMOLOGISTS

The ZOOMOLOGISTS is a multi-perspective research on the digital multiplication up to the dissolution of the performative body. Five professional and internationally established dancers expand the classical viewer's perspective via zoom to include their private surroundings, which becomes the new stage for their individual performances. Playing with several cameras takes on an important position, as the dancers consciously work with an almost voyeuristic penetration of a foreign space. The performers thus implement several cameras in their environment, which can be controlled at different times. Each perspective can be displayed in a separate window in the zoom view, so that the impression is quickly created that one is observing parts of the performance from the perspective of a surveillance camera.
