The Be-Part Exercises / Dirk Zoete

Roma Publication 264

Together with isolated drawings and scalemodels, the The Be-Part Exercises can be seen as documents of the act of drawing in the midst of becoming. Zoete translated his drawings into theatrical sculptures embodied by actors which he photographed in filmic series which he digitally edited and drawn upon. The characters seem to be frozen in a re-enactment of the drawings they were based upon. Through repetition and difference, they show a rhythm of geometrical patterns in different constellations.
