William Forsythe's City of Abstrac

Forsythe's video installation at "Futuro/Presente", Rovereto Italy, May 2008
Choreographer William Forsythe's installation, City of Abstracts, turns the eye of a camera on the people of a city. As they move through its streets, onto its trains and as they pause on its sidewalks, their image is projected onto a giant screen. Their movements and pauses, velocities and directions, the straight and curved paths taken become a dance of spiraled, stretched bodies, of vanishing and re-appearing heads. Forsythe is interested in inviting passersby to offer movement, which will be fed back to them as a kind of unconscious choreography.
