Mixed binding. Condición: Fine in Fine Slipcase. Limited Edition. Limited Edition. Mixed binding. "These four volumes represent an exchange between choreographer Susan Sgorbati and book artist Thorsten Dennerline, using Sgorbati's concept of "Emergent Forms" as their point of departure. "Emergent Forms" grew out of Sgorbati's study of the spontaneous composition of form in complex systems. Elements of order and interaction create recognizable patterns in these systems, but they remain dynamic, engendering differentiations that influence and modify the form. This phenomenon - the creation of order from a rich array of self-organizing interactions - is found not only in dance and music; indeed, it is present throughout the natural world. This project consists of four emergent forms (Pattern, Memory, Landscape, and Dream), each represented by a "volume", a unique print/object. The texture, color and gesture of each form on paper emerged through the process of collaborative dialogue, reminiscent of a shared choreography. Each volume is not only a documentation of this dialogue, but also an interactive visualization of these emergent forms."
