In between gravity and non-gravity

Producers:
Monica Sand artist
Gun Lund choreographer / dancer
Lars Persson physician / video

An artistic work which deal with the phases between gravity and non-gravity and our perspective as humans - how has the modern space research changed our own position in existence? In this work we include researchers in space research, physiologists, mechanics and physicists in different laboratories in Sweden and abroad.

1. Can gravity be cancelled? The swing in the bridge 2002
1b. Exhibition in the House of Sculpture, Stockholm 2003
1c. Earth–bounded, Passagen Linköping Arthall 2003
2. Preparation for zerogravity
 
3. Space is looking at us
The modern research of space has changed the image of the human position in universe. How can we make an image of the human endeavour in a space perspective? By use of satellites we document several artistic installations.
 
4. Parabolic fligh

The transition between micro gravity and the fall down (2G) is what is shaping the nature of the parabolic flight. We want to use those transitions to make an installation in the aircraft, which includes stage design, sound, light and dancers.
Can we save the energy from the double G to be able to lift a body in the zero G? In this phase we intend to co-operate with physiologists and also use different research which says something about the circumstances for our bodies. We use video to make a poetic picture of the transition, and make us aware of our normal circumstances in gravity.
