Spatial Traces of Movements is a sound installation where Jenny Lönneborg and John Moström examine the physical relationship between body, space and time. With backgrounds in architecture and coreography they have examined movement from a spatial perspective.

The starting point has been how movement effects the atmosphere and the experience in a space – which traces it leaves in the form of sound, smell and changes of temperature. The focus point in Spatial Traces of Movements is the auditive perception of movement.

The installation is comprised of several recordings of the sound of dance that has been further elaborated into a sound collage together with the composer Isak Edberg.

By experiencing coreography and dance solely through auditive perception instead of through the traditional visual sense they are seeking to create a situation where new immaterial rooms and new immaterial choreography is made relating to the visitors body and fantasy. The visitor moves freely in the room and can experience the sound installation from their own position in the room, one can be right in the middle of the sound (movement) or far away – standing still or in movement.

This is a project that explores coreography, architecture, sound, perception, and time as well as what happens in the meeting between them.
