Artwork Description |InGermaine Kruip’s work the position of the spectator is often under scrutiny.<br />
The performance Apossibility of an abstraction: Circle Dance is performed by a<br />
Derwisj dancer, also known as Whirling Dervish, who traditionally spins round<br />
and round in an ecstatic ritual, in an effort toconnect to ahigher universe. Kruip<br />
strips the performance down to its most minimal essence, so the viewer will<br />
focus on the bare movement of the dancer, dressed in asimple black suit and<br />
white shirt. The ritualistic performance does not illustrate or tell astory; it is<br />
simply meant to displace the performer through the repetition of asimple movement.<br />
