"II aiKia II" was conceptually inspired by the process of individuation, described by Carl Gustav Jung and analytical psychology. It defines a transformation - a second puberty of adult where a splitting of personality appears. We meet our shadow; it creeps behind us, causes trouble, yet needs to be accepted. The next split is with us throughout life; we live in dualities. We confront with our inner anima and animus and occasionally enter a stage of excitation which brings forth a new archetype; the old wizard or mother earth, both with utter power. The goal is to find our true self in self-actualization; we face the history of ourselves in a continuous link to our unconscious past which repeats creating our future.

“The unity of nearness and remoteness involved in every human relation is organized, in the phenomenon of the stranger, in a way which may be most briefly formulated by saying that in the relationship to him, distance means that he, who is close by, is far, and strangeness means that he, who also is far, is actually near. For, to be a stranger is naturally a very positive relation; it is a specific form of interaction.”
The Stranger, Georg Simmel (1858 – 1918)
"II AiKiA II" is an interactive projection-mapping project that adds a digital dimension to the real world/space of dancing body movements, combining light projection, choreography, sound and camera tracking.
Our creative process parallels our performative exploration of Jungian individuation; with intention to bring a relevant challenge. Once the inspiration was set, we developed each our work independently; catalyzed by the shared vision, but as brilliant individuals. We came together to form temporary duets or trios of creativity; playing games of creation. Unison completed this first cycle as our performance neared; the birth of the prime "II aiKia II".
