Forms (Quayola and Memo Akten,2011)
https://www.memo.tv/works/forms/

"Series of studies on human motion, and its reverberation through space and time. Exploring extrapolation techniques to sculpt abstract forms, the work visualizes hidden relationships between the body and its surroundings

The project investigates athletes; pushing their bodies to their extreme capabilities, their movements shaped by an evolutionary process targeting a winning performance. Traditionally a form of entertainment in todays society with an overpowering competitive edge, the disciplines are deconstructed and interrogated from an exclusively mechanical and aesthetic point of view; concentrating on the invisible forces generated by and influencing the movement."
