Kate Hagerman Kinetochore
With special guest: Tal Halevi
(Reception and DJ mix to follow)
In Kinetochore, Kate Hagermann’s film installations, photography exhibition and performance illustrates how the exchange of words, image and movement is reciprocal, as each form finds a new reality through actualization by the other. The cycle of the ekphrastic movement is multi-directional.
The body, a hall of mirrors, is a storehouse of images. When images pass through us, they rewrite our creative impulse. The image is a distinct singular thing that causes plural representations of itself into other forms. An image can replicate into a poem, dance, sculpture, photograph, etc. The impetus for one image to form into as many unique variations of itself as possible lies in the potential kinetic energy of the Kinetochore, the force that drives the miotic spindle apparatus to separate during the process of mitosis, cell division. The ekphrastic impulse is inherent in the image and is the cellular force behind its replication regardless of form.
Kinetochore explores the ekphrastic movement between poetry and dance. The realm of translation between the image, poem dance, photograph, etc., does not exist out there in some vacant lot inside the folds of time. It occurs in the transient ever-shifting, ever-evolving, fever-dying physical body of the poet or dancer: in the nucleus of each cell, on the mitotic fibers that elongate to form the new form.
Kate uses 8mm, 16mm and High Definition (HD) motion picture film.
