Invisible Movements

Stimuli, spaces and speed are but a few of our invisible movements.

Overview

Most would trek to Istanbul to check out the Topkapi Palace, the Grand Bazaar and or to grab a snazzy carpet, but that was far off artist Cailtin Franzmann’s agenda abroad. For three months, she worked at torna as a guest artist, and worked from this studio. But really, she cleaned cat poo from arcade corridors, ignored the smell, walked past strange patches of colour on the floor, and lost interest in looking at men walking in and out of the toilet at the end of her corridor

She made friends with a coffee-house’s owner, they made a film, he read the newspaper, drank tea, offered some to Caitlin, and they both tolerated flickering lights. She listened to a water pipe in her studio, put dots on paper, turned the lights on and off, and in between all of this pieced together Invisible Movements, an exhibition of new work that explores the experience of the body in motion – its internal rhythms in relation to stimuli, spaces and speed.

Invisible Movements will be hosted by Metro Arts, from July 16 to August 2. You can catch Caitlin talk about the exhibition and her experiences on July 23 – don’t bring up the cat smell.
