Annarres and Urras 

Video sculpture for stage


Two video sculptures created for Judith Förster's piece “Horizon  Problems” premiered in November 2022 at Sophiensaele, Berlin.


The two video sculptures Anarres and Urras, named after the two planets in Ursula Le Guin's novel “Dispossessed”, become multidimensional hybrids, playing with the idea of new materialities themselves: interweaving light, video, and 3D animation in dialogue with the performance that is happening live.

The haptic and creature-like dimensions of the sculptures are a development of an expanded understanding of video that Stella has been developing through close collaboration with dance/performance.

After showdown AV and Handle With Care, Horizon Problems is the third work by Judith Förster, in which Stella Horta collaborates by bringing the audiovisual dimension into Judith Förster´s choreographic work. Through this collaboration, they further develop research in science fiction narratives to pursue a physical-emotional approach to coexistence and belonging in a complex society.
