On the piece

"Tension as a site of possibility."

Zero Point Field investigates the generative potential of opposing forces: control and surrender, visibility and disappearance, impulse and inhibition, sound and silence. Not to resolve these tensions, but to stay with them. The piece treats opposition as a creative engine rather than a conflict to be solved.

Three performers in constant negotiation, never arriving at rest. The space between their bodies holds as much charge as the bodies themselves. Meaning emerges in the pauses, in the moments when something comes into focus and in the moments it slips away.

On contact

Much of the choreography works at the threshold of touch — the moment just before bodies meet, or the moment they meet and then cannot disengage. Duet sections carry the weight of a third force always present, pulling or repelling. Solo sections are saturated with the absence of the others. Contact here is not just physical but gravitational: each body warps the space around the other two.

The title comes from physics but reaches toward something older — the sense that intimacy is not softness but intensity, that to be near something is already to be changed by it, that the body's ground state is not stillness but readiness. A permanent readiness that goes all the way down.

"The distance between performer and spectator collapses."

The performance was made for the raw industrial nave of Röda Sten Konsthall in Gothenburg. A space that already holds memory: brick, concrete, the weight of heavy industry. The audience surrounds the performance area, inside the field rather than watching from outside it.

The visual projections run in parallel: black and white, abstract, generated through feedback loops where even the smallest input multiplies into something vast. The images are never illustrative. They leave space for the audience to project their own meaning onto what they see.

The music was built the same way: a single microphone session looped into itself until even the smallest sound became a massive, almost endless world. Movement, sound, and image were parallel research into the same concept.
