Defining dizziness as an unpredictable motion or the sensation of such a motion, this long-term artistic research asks for the state of dizziness to be viewed in a different light. A phenomenon appearing on different scales and multitudinous contexts, dizziness can be understood as causing a shift from the given to the uncertain, unbalancing individuals, groups, elements or even entire systems. Whether perplexing turmoil or joyful ilinx, by becoming dizzy, we enter a stage of heightened vulnerability, unsure of our perception, processing, orientation and abilities – uncertain of ourselves and the world around us. These feelings of insecurity mark the interaction with our environment, conveying that dizziness and its disorientating conditions are situated in the lived experience.
