French Exit

Overview

"Oliver Husain’s...experimental video installation, FRENCH EXIT, playfully animates empty space through a series of composed and improvised arrangements. Resembling a game, the work engages a set of rules that cause dancers to move relative to soft massive volumes—a revolving glass door, an invisible energy field, a subtle cultural boundary. While pressing and dipping, stretching and shifting, curving and weaving both the dancing bodies and their observers lose track of oppositional reality."
