Kairos
Kairos is an installation by Russell Maliphant in collaboration with film artists Warren Du Preez & Nick Thornton Jones. Using three screens, it envelops its viewers in a rich visual landscape of sculptural bodies in motion, accompanied by an absorbing and evocative score from composer Mukul.
Maliphant collaborated with a group of extraordinary performers, using a movement vocabulary influenced by the dance forms of popping, breaking and contemporary dance, integrated through his masterful control of flow, form and dynamics.
