DESCRIPTION/ABSTRACT: Time Unfolded is an interdisciplinary and immersive multi-media work, combining highresolution video, dance and live electronics. Time Unfolded is an exploration of the movements of a dancer, filmed in 4.6K and high frame rate and decomposed instant after instant, following and extending the techniques of chronophotography of Eadweard Muybridge and Étienne-Jules Marey, and accompanied by an immersive 8-channel live electronics performance. Through the interplay of sounds and images, time unfolds and shapes emerge from the succession of the instants.

She is also cocreator of “DosLados,” a collaboration between Habitual and La Mecedora that reimagines new ways of shortening and folding the territory between Rosarito, Tijuana and San Diego through dance.
