The Movement of Space

“The Movement Of Space” is a kinetic installation that responds to the medium of film and thus to the framed field of vision.
The two by three meter large structure serves as a framework for a mechanical spectacle. Similar to a photographic aperture mechanism, a light surface opens and closes. In Langkamp’s installation, the cross-section (light surface) is a tilted and quadrangular surface that opens and closes repetitively. The fabric surfaces create a quadrilateral field of vision that constantly changes scale. Due to the size of this work, the viewer’s vision is continuously influenced; limited or expanded. Depending on the placement of the work, the viewer’s point of view and the scale of the cut, a different approach to the space always arises.
