Synchronicity describes the interrelatedness between different phenomena of reality beyond the causal logic. C. G. Jung’s psychoanalysis explains it through the prism of human psyche as synchronization of subjective experiences with external circumstances. In quantum physics it is examined through the notion of the world as an energy field of interactions: everything that exists is interrelated and an event is in fact the effect of mutual influence between invisible particles and waves. These assumptions are underlying for some contemporary branches of science and a number of works of fiction. The performance “Synchronicity” builds an installation where the human body is put into a situation of interaction with a complexly composed system of sounds, motion, energy and light that achieves audiovisual effects of hypnotic impact. The system itself is built as a classical mandala. Geometric lines could be associated with the eternal movement in time but also with the synchronicity of events that are beyond reason.
Stanislav Genadiev-GENDA is a dance artist and composer of electronic music.
