"Room and road is a space installation. It is a realisation of an idea of a space that is no longer passive and still, but is alive and moving, just as the dancers inside it. The walls and the floors of the inner space (the Room) can move through a spatial projection that is manipulated by a computer program. In the same way the open space (the Road) varies among the different, definite and indefinite roads and infinite spaces of the universe. The computer program that enables both spaces to move and change also enables them to be in a relation with the dancers. Room and Road can so be in their 'private dialogue' with movers or dancers passing, experiencing, researching and contemplating this new duality."
