Schrodinger's Dance

For this work, I wanted to explore the inability to accurately measure both speed and position of elemental particles as described in the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, as well as the quantum nature of the unknown as described by the concept of Schrodinger's Cat.  Like the infamous feline, my subject is present in a multitude of possible states.  When the subject ceases movement, all spacial-temporal permutations collapse, leaving only one possible position which expresses itself visually as a solidification of the subject. When the subject begins to move again, the uncertainties in the subject's relative position blossom in turn. This is a beautiful process which I felt would be best portrayed through graceful, meditative, dreamlike movement and sound.

I  was originally upset by the constant interruption of passerby wandering into the frame, but I soon realized that if I was filming a symbolic collapse and reformation of unknown possibilities, I would be going against the spirit of the film by trying to subdue the chaotic nature of the surroundings and thus embraced this random inclusion of subjects.
