ABOUT KAWITA'S CURRENT PROJECT


My series of video work, performances and photographs are focused on the female's body and its relationship to different elements such as water, sand, wind and man-made materials such as plastic, paper, rubber and fabrics. The experimentations are developed to look at the action and reaction of the body in different spaces and environments, the transformation of the shape and form of the body that visually changed into a sculpture when affected physically from the elements and materials in order to examine the psychological, corporeal and cultural ways of viewing the human condition. The certain symbols contained in the videos are used to reflect the idea of violence, endurance, communication, as well as gender.

FLASHBACK

EARLIER WORK

My very first videos
(with photographs)






My first videos

At that time, I did a lot of editing with cross-fade effects. I was not based on realistic performance like I do now. The sound was played by me with a keyboard and it was not based on the real sound. The quality of the video camera was quite low. However, this was my very first step in experimenting with water and its relationship to human body. I began to use human bodies including my own as a medium for my work after this video was done.
