WORK IN PROGRESS An immersive and deeply touching video installation. Choreographer Katja Heitmann collects and preserves ‘human movement’. More than 2,000 people have already donated their personal movements. In the new artwork PERPETUUM, you meet these moving ‘movement donors’ .

Each time different people from the Motus Mori archive are made visible on a monumental scale. As you get closer, you stand face to face with them and hear the stories behind their movements. In a sea of light, your personal movement also becomes visible.

Katja Heitmann is fascinated by humankind’s continuous attempt to make themselves immortal. This is why, since 2019, she has been collecting personal movements to keep them for the future. Based on this Motus Mori archive of movement, she creates new artworks each time, which make you pause to think about what moves us as humans.

Duration: minimum 12 minutes – perpetuum mobile
