‘How does one find their individual rhythm within a structure?
‘4234’ is a study based on routine body movements that come from the Communist era in Eastern Europe, used as a tool for social obedience and promotion of political ideologies. It is de-contextualising a rigid, state-mandated choreography by reenactment, emphasising the rhythm within that slowly moves to from strict forms, through gentle bends and folds, to moments where the discipline is broken, and the act becomes simple interaction. Young women who have no muscle memory of the exercises turn these movements into a ‘found object’, moving from indoctrination to interpretation. The work questions and confronts obedience, opening space for individuality—a space to regain control of their own body, thereby turning to each other.
