Scope, movements with changing parts 2.0 draws a stagelike terrain, playfully involving visitors in movement and reflexion.
The basic concept involves the construction of several open frames, which act as the framework for individual sections, or movements. Mounted on a height-adjustable, rotating rack, every frame opens at the top. The way in which the frame is constructed makes it possible to either replace complete movements or combine two or more movements together.
Every movement essentially consists of a two-sided, shallow square tray that holds fifteen square parts and one empty slot. The parts are initially placed in random order and can be slid into position until, from a single movement, coherent and interweaving motifs emerge. On the modifiable reverse side they form its counterparts.
Each movement, consisting of 15 parts, has its own mobile, customized box that acts simultaneously as presentation-, carrier- and storage unit. The boxes containing the respective movements are made available to visitors in an exhibition context.
Each part is a component of the content, is rhythmic, characterized by text and graphic schemes or so-called diagrams milled into both sides of the structure.
I use the term "movement" in the musical sense to refer to particular forms of musical compositions consisting of several larger sections, called movements, whose interconnection and entirety make up a larger whole.
The common leitmotif of the following movements is inversion. As a figure of thought, it serves to illustrate upheaval or a change in common patterns, as inversions problematize a tried and familiar point of view but find a clear solution for it. Represented as a tilted figure, it illustrates veering ways of thinking.
Ludwig Wittgenstein describes inversion as a sudden visual metamorphosis, one that can either be generalized as a revolution in one’s view of the world or the overthrow of familiar perspectives.
Inversions cause a shift in perspective, inverting an object in its mirror image.
They shatter our point of view, toppling our perception of space. As Wittgenstein describes it in his Philosophical Investigations, rabbits turn to ducks and vice-versa. Suddenly illuminated, both aspects of an inverted image demonstrate the ways in which perception likens a condition, and is not a question of interpretation. Wittgenstein, however, sees the “H-E-Kopf" not only as an optical phenomenon for which one thing highlights different aspects according to context, the same is true of language games.
