Created as part of "Highway 101", a project of Meg Stuart and Damaged Goods for 2000-2001, which has been shown in Brussels, Vienna, Paris, Rotterdam and Zurich, Sand Table - a live installation - emerged from the meeting between Meg Stuart and the visual artist, Magali Desbazeille. A video image is projected on a table covered with sand. The projected image becomes a material image, thick and palpable. The image presents dancers lying on the wooden floor of the same place. The filmed dancers were there at a previous moment. During the performance, the live dancers manipulate their images and bodies.
There is interaction between the filmed dancer and the live dancer. The filmed one reacts to the manipulations. The sand-covered table is made of transparent glass. When a live dancer takes the sand away, a part of the image disappears through the glass and seems to fall on the floor.
