Reterritorialized Spaces:
Schmiede 2022

The space around us seems empty. But is it? It is filled with its history, performative aspects of its inhabitants and cultural artifacts contextualizing its architecture, social cartography and different instances of reality. "Reterritorialized Space" is a series of performances wherein Litto / Daniela Weiß documents and explores spatial boundaries, conceiving them as "territory". To this end, space is translated into video, a medium that by definition lacks the depth to capture traditional notions of space. The artist introduces the concept of spatial video by adding a third dimension through digital means. In collaboration with Daniel Nuderscher & Sandro Nicolussi, a laser beam is used to scan a space with a head mounted display, a mirror mask in front of the artist's face. The reflection of the mirror creates a new way of perception. Time and space are turned upside down. The performative aspects of space take on agency. They themselves become actors on their own accord.
