"Circle LUX 9" renders the body as raw material that can attain different qualities, textures and properties. It exhibits the body as a construction that we can fit into and burst but also as a surface that we can project upon. It strives towards a shifting subject, a constant dissolving of cultural and social codes at the same time as it playfully merges and utilizes its different expressions without ever wanting to belong to a specific identity. "Circle LUX 9" is a perpetual transformation of the body, the space and the relation created in between. Passing through different spaces, evoking intimacy and imagination it moves between landscape and display. It’s s an intensification of the presence which leaves traces and anticipates the future in an ongoing loop. Always on the move, in a constant becoming. "Circle LUX 9" proposes the concept of a “magic circle” as a place where temporary worlds within the ordinary world can occur.
