Catarina Miranda - Aerowaves

Cabraqimera

Portugal The Twenty24

A quartet on roller skates. Cabraqimera dives into the effects of speed taking inspiration from science fiction. Within a spatial organisation the choreography evolves through a set of codes of occupation, interceptions and encounters.
In this world, the hypnotic gestures are underscored by fluorescent lighting that reveals positive and negative spaces, projecting the body toward an extreme otherness.

Biography

Born in Portugal Catarina Miranda (1982), is an artist working with languages that intercept image, movement, voice, scenography and light; approaching the body as a vessel for the transformation and mediation of hypnagogic states (relating to the state immediately before falling asleep), as well as for gestures and processes of the visceral conscience of the present.
