Forsythe Company

Knotunknot is an ongoing project, which to date has been realized in four Germany cities, engaging over 1200 people from diverse backgrounds. Knotunknot was initiated by Dana Caspersen and William Forsythe as part of the BHF Bank’s socially-oriented arts initiative, Frankfurt Positions in cooperation with the Academy of Visual Arts, Frankfurt.

Assignment: The students’ task was to develop a creative artistic method to translate the participants’ movements into visual works of art. While four people report to each other according to the given questions, they involuntarily transfer the movements they make – of their arms and hands – onto a canvas covered with paint.
