Also, Earth experiences a slowdown in its rotational speed by approximately 2 milliseconds per year.
All this far away in the past.

(NEW) MOON is choreographer Simo Kellokumpu’s new work in which planetary and spatial movements move the body. The performance took place on a new moon morning – 14.10.2023 – in South-West Finnish archipelago. The video work combines Kellokumpu’s choreo-reading practice, speculative fiction, and site-specificity extending into outer space scales and movements. Within the quiet space of Työhuone, (NEW) MOON invites the visitor to sense the choreographic relationships between corporeality and the planetary. The work is part of Kellokumpu’s ongoing post-doctoral artistic research project xeno/exo/astro -choreoreadings.
