Mind Moves Matter

MIND MOVES MATTER brought together a selection of recent works by Marlon Nikolai within the WU-TAL Session at the Schauspielhaus / Pina Bausch Zentrum in Wuppertal.

The presentation explored relationships between consciousness, movement and embodiment, and the processes through which immaterial or internal phenomena become materially experienceable. Materials including epoxy resin, chrome and pigment operate not simply as surfaces, but as means through which perception, reflection and transformation can take form.

Situated within the context of the WU-TAL Session, the presentation created a dialogue between contemporary visual art and urban dance culture: two practices connected through movement, transformation and embodied experience.
