Hologram at Home

31 May–15 August 2021

Online

Three performances filmed in 4K from three different angles are put together to create a 3D pseudo-hologram display in this experimental approach to archiving dance.

Watch the timing of the movements, and dancers’ centre of gravity.
Discover new aspects to dance by watching it from the sides as well as the front.
This new footage brings to light previously unseen facial expressions, muscles, movements of the costume, along with an invisible glow emitted by the dancers.
To archive Butoh is to not only record the steps of the dance, but also the mood of the dancer—to capture that essential something that radiates from dance.

Enjoy the hologram performances from THREE in the comfort of your own home.
To get the best experience out of these miniature palm-sized dancers, darken the room and connect your smartphone to a speaker.
Use the display to research Butoh, decorate your room, or find your own way to enjoy the performances by these 3 illusory figures.
