Between 01 Installation Art
For visual and performing artist Lay Heong, COVID-19 has helped humankind put things in perspective, and the best time to reset our consciousness on a global scale is now. “Between 01” is a thought-provoking part art installation, part dance performance by Lay Heong, in which she uses recycled materials, dry leaves, movement and lights to get people to rethink our relationships with ourselves, each other, the environment and the world, all while advocating the culture of upcycling. A dance performance video “Here Now”, by Chloe Tan and Silver Yee.
About "Here Now" Performance Video
Installation art is a three-dimensional art form by nature, designed to transform the perception of a space. In “Between 01”, the installation work presents the images of humans trapped in an immobile state. Through the collaborative work “Here Now”, two dancers offer their perspective on the installation art via movement by juxtaposing the still and the dynamic. Due to the prolonged lockdown in Malaysia since June 2021, this work has been altered and is now going to be presented in a video instead of a live performance. The dancers continue to look into what’s in the here and now for themselves in the midst of constant uncertainties.
“We are here. We are now. Those other times are running elsewhere. Here is shifting. Now is fleeting. While we all seem to be isolated, something within us is moving through the invisible border of being.”
