Straight Head was made while on a IASPIS Residency (The Swedish Arts Grants Committee's International Programme for Visual Artists ) in Umeå, Sweden. The work was shown at Art Cinema, the 2nd edition of the film/video screening at the only artist-run/self organized space Habitat in Odense, Denmark. Habitat is a studio and project space created by artists from the Funen Art Academy (Odense) and the Jutland Art Academy (Aarhus) to support the contemporary art scene in Odense. This work interrogates the body’s movement and performative gestures that are fundamentally shaped by the physical and physiological environment and the obstacles within that. The surroundings, landscape and architecture choreograph bodies and actions, which the figure demonstrates by insisting on staggering forward across what eventually becomes apparent as piles of cleared snow. This insistence can be exposed as an investigation that reaches beyond that of the physical dilemma but one that extends to a metaphorical struggle.
