“Korpus” deals with the legibility and representation of danced movement within the medium of photography. Being reduced to a representation of signs and its interaction between the photographic image and a kinetogram, the work describes the transformation of a written character into a photographic sign. Bound to the indexical, photography serves here as a template of signs that, once again, turns into a respective sign itself. Kinetograms/Labanotations are the most common form of dance notation that permits us to commit movement to paper and as a consequence preserve the ephemeral art of dance and make it reproducible.
