Fragility and coherence, construction and
deconstruction, boundaries and porosity – these apparent antagonisms are
being analysed in Monika Dorniak’s The Amplification Of Fluctuations (2021) together with five dancers. In Dorniak’s choreographed collective
work, the interdisciplinary artist continues to search for solidarity in
a pluralised society which is hyper-connected and, at the same time,
increasingly separated. The dancers are intuitively de/-constructing the
foundations of the human community throughout the performance and
depict the anatomy of the ‘singular’ self which is formed by a variety
of non-/ human agents. The transformable costume and stage design
continues to play an essential role in Dorniak’s work and forms a
moveable frame for the choreography. In her new work ‘The Amplification
Of Fluctuations’ the moveable objects symbolise the essential, parallel
running presence of boundaries and porosity in the formation of the
self.
