last place we met
France, 2016, 8m 35s, HD, 16:9

Directed, Choreographed and Edited by Michaela Gerussi and Tracy Valcarcel
Performance: Michaela Gerussi
Camera: Tracy Valcarcel




A collaborative video dance piece co-created and directed by Michaela Gerussi (performance) and Tracy Valcarcel (camera). A reciprocal dialogue between lens, environment and body, Last place we met is comprised of short, site-specific vignettes of spatial explorations. Moments of chasing light are intersected by moving images which immerse us into sensory portraits of places.
In this ode to space, we enter a timeless ecology through the camera’s soft gaze. The camera assumes an unattached regard of the environment, establishing an on-screen space which is created collaboratively by that which is seen and that which is seeing. Meanwhile a woman makes herself present, orienting herself; becoming the space through movement, tracking time through attention. Together they are the space.
