Elective Affinities
Video design and projections for a dance piece inspired by Goethe's novel Die Wahlverwandtschaften.
About
Elective Affinities is a dance work inspired by Goethe’s novel “Die Wahlverwandtschaften” (Elective Affinities), which explores themes of passion, fate, and the chemical-like attractions between people.
Visual Concept
The video projections draw from the novel’s central metaphor of chemical affinities—the way certain elements are naturally drawn to combine with others. The visual language reflects these themes of attraction, separation, and transformation.
