Scarso, Jacek Ludwig (2023) Choreographics of square [London]. [Video]
Jacek Ludwig Scarso's 'Choreographics of Square' is a video installation created for Fondazione Marta Czok, exploring the performativity of public spaces in their daily use.
In the video series 'Choreographics of Square' (2023), static shots focus on the movement and behaviour of people across three metropolitan squares as chosen case studies: Trafalgar Square in London, Piazza San Marco in Venice and Federation Square in Melbourne. With each square being filmed from four different angles, the footage is later converted into digital animations – this is both an aesthetic choice in post-production and an ethical consideration in keeping the depicted people anonymous and unrecognisable. As a result, each square is represented in four video channels, so that not only the different angles are juxtaposed and viewed in synchronicity, but the three squares may be also explored together at the same time, where the projections are exhibited side by side.
