A Feed-back Situation
“I originate movement which Erik translates and returns to me. What I get in return is my movement fed through his sensory system.”
2-State Transfer Drawing Dennis to Erik Oppenheim
“As I run a marker along Erik’s back he attempts to duplicate the movement on the wall. My activity stimulates a kinetic response from his sensory system. I am, therefore, drawing through him…Because Erik is my offspring and we share similar biological ingredients, his back (as surface) can be seen as an immature version of my own. In a sense, I make contact with a past state.”

New Hall Art Collection, Murray Edwards CollegeMapping the body onto particular parts of the globe evokes ideas about access to places in the landscape and its resources. It also suggests the enduring traces that bodies leave on the landscapes that they inhabit, and the globe more generally.
