Zoom, Click, Waltz

Zoom, Click, Waltz is a multimedia installation comprising 13 LED screens depicting individuals in various states of “performance”, while isolated within separate window frames. What began as an attempt to communicate with neighbours during Circuit Break developed into an imagined possibility of individuals connecting through dance.

Over a period of 2 months, residents received mailed instruction requests to perform at an interval spanning 30 minutes. These recordings were at times effective, and at others, futile. Various subjects’ responses range from active to passive: some participate in modes of conscious performance, while others are nonchalant and in contemplation.

Juxtaposed and interspersed alongside staged, found and borrowed media, separate footage is stitched together to form an uncanny, seamless reality situated in the inter-spaces between interpretation and negotiation, truth and fiction, performativity and chance.
