White/Spot by tg.performance.ritual was an interactive performance work inviting to conversation on several levels, interactive and indirect, about the possible change of icons and what they symbolise and mean today. Short sound images, text fragments and short movement sequences take place in a landscape, a room into which the spectator is eventually invited.
In White/Spot the performer moves on a scale from non-acting, that is, an everyday-like, direct approach, to distanced sliding into the image in the room. The different layers of creating images and interactivity finds inspiration in rituals, lectures, concert effects et al. The room is continually changing through and between every performance. The focus is multidisciplinary and the artist, Tone Gellein, is responsible for all aspects of the work: The room, sound, costume, text and performance.
The performance was part of the performing arts festival Showbox 2007. Maximum number of spectators for White/Spot: 7.
