Espírito W.I.P.

4 minutes and 44 seconds, Dance Performance-based 3D motion graphic animation, 2022

‘Espírito' is an experimental 3D animation composed of 3D scanned body movements of dancers from BIPOC and LGBTQIA communities. Artist's motion-captured dance performance interacts within space arranged by nature like 3D scanned body movements of dancers. The artist believes that technology and digital databases are archives of the stories and histories of individuals and represent the integrity of diversity. Elisabete Yoon Ju, a.k.a. Kerberus, is from a multicultural family and is a non-binary woman of color. She embodies an idea of a body as an instrument creating frequency within memories and rhythm in sounds, and body movements in physical and metaphysical space to manifest not only assimilating own sacredness yet also others.'

While the artist moves through space, they embody and practice simply holding the space by their presence and honoring individuals' stories that echo over movements and digitally scanned bodies. The artist explores a digital space with rhythmical and sonic responses, such as their body movements illustrated by two deities in the film. Viewers are encouraged to reshape a relationship between their own present and individuals, space, time, the world, and beyond.
