Aureole
A circle without
beginning or end.
At the centre of the lake, a partially submerged chapel remains visible but unreachable. The proposal does not approach the ruin. It holds it at a distance, allowing architecture, water and movement to occupy distinct but interdependent territories.
A continuous circular path is suspended above the water. It refuses the hierarchy of a conventional runway: there is no privileged front, no definitive entrance and no final image. Bodies appear, recede and return, their movement understood through repetition rather than arrival.
The chapel remains still while the performance unfolds around it. Its persistence gives weight to a sequence built from temporary presence. Water is not treated as scenery, but as a temporal surface — reflecting, fragmenting and repeatedly reconstructing the circle.
Movement held
around memory.
The audience is divided across two arcs, facing both the moving body and the inaccessible centre. Attention circulates continuously between performance, reflection and ruin. The work is experienced as an orbit rather than a frontal event.
