365 Routines – Artists’ Book

by Nina Kurtela & Hana Erdman

This Artist's book documents a year long choreography between two artists, exchanging daily movement phrases through short videos. The original work 365 Routines culminates in a 48-minute video whereby the videos are edited together to form one long dance phrase. It is an ongoing communication between different environments, locations, languages, identities, spaces, and times. During the daily routines the artists engage in an imaginary space of belonging that is no longer physical or territorial.  It is an emotional space, and an abstract space, but a space nonetheless of communal sharing and sheltering. It documents a desire to stay connected despite conditions of making and working. It’s a devotion to an ongoing practice and exchange, exposing the personal, the intimate and the private. Dancing the choreography was a way to keep alive the dialogue between two friends.
