Dynamic Map: A Performance by Miriam Markl
Hafnarhús
to
During a two-week exploration of the museum's architecture, Berlin-based movement artist Miriam Markl engages with its spatial, structural, and energetic qualities through movement and dance.
Her process envisions a "dynamic map" — a living, moving representation of the building as an evolving network of relationships. Through dance improvisation, she will embody the interplay of light, time, atmosphere, and the museum’s material presence. Her research will culminate in a final performance, where the movements become a "moving map" — a poetic and dynamic reflection of the space’s rhythms and transformations, inviting audiences to experience the architecture as a living, breathing entity.
Audiences are invited to observe her movement exploration of Hafnarhús during her open rehearsals at the museum.
