Inner Space

To some extent, architecture and dance, are a kind of language that with the purpose to express. Respectively as top iconic figures for their own industries, Ma Yansong and Shen Wei collaborated on this 6min 50 seconds movie “INNERSPACE,” where their talents met, crossed-over and further explored.
The 2015 completed Harbin Opera House, was designed in response to the force and spirit of the northern city’s untamed wilderness and frigid climate. It is a cultural center of the future – a tremendous performance venue, as well as a dramatic public space that embodies the integration of human, art and the city identity, while synergistically blending with the surrounding nature, After the Harbin Opera House was introduced to the world, it has been named and awarded as “Building of the year - Culture”, “the world’s best concert halls”, “the best performing space.” CNN claims it as “move over Sydney, a work of art.”
Architecture, can be seen as art pieces in the city. The interaction between the dancer and the opera house – the choreography inspired by the architecture, and the more distinct identity of the architecture through the presentation of the dancer – further activates the diverse characters. Through the dancer’s stretch and fluid movement, the movie hope audiences can feel the interaction between the dancer’s tension and the surrounding space. It expressed a new kind of imagination, that exceed the limitation of bodies, as well as exceeds the outline of space.
