The Bauhaus, that celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, aspired after integrating design from a perspective of equality in society, based on overall aesthetics. And this purpose is based on multidisciplinary experiments on the body and space, exploring basic conditions of humanity. In particular, these attempts stand out in the traditions of the Bauhaus festivals and stage experiments. Oscar Schlemmer, who conducted it, once said, “The stage should reflect the new era and be more contemporary than anything else”. This piece is a reinterpretation of Space Dance from Oscar Schlemmer's Bauhaus Dance, as an extension of the previous installation, 2'13", 36 Frames for Man Space Machine — Stage Experiments at the Bauhaus at National Museum of Modern and Contemporary art, Korea in 2014. In 2'13", 36 Frames, Space Dance was translated into a visual score, based on the movement and color of the performers, created spatial experiences. Based on this visual score, 2'13", 4.6 Meters suggests a reinterpreted stage space for the viewer to imagine the performer's actions, focusing on the relationship between space and body.
