Beat.
Beat originates in The Mythology of Self, a dance work by Laurie Sefton in which live iPhone images were projected behind the performers, creating a feedback loop between movement and its image. These projected fragments were later reworked in the studio, translated from performance into a constructed photographic language.
Rather than documenting choreography, the series reorganizes it. Gesture appears layered, displaced, and partially dissolved, holding multiple temporal states within a single frame. Movement is not frozen; it persists as trace and accumulation.
The work proposes the image as a site where time is reconstituted. Duration emerges through viewing, as perception oscillates between memory and anticipation. In Beat, stillness does not resolve motion—it suspends it.
