IV (for II) by SERAFINE1369 is presented as part of A Journey – Mudam’s 2026 performance series, focusing on (un)anticipated encounters, technological progress, migration and embodied interpretation.

For Mudam’s outdoor spaces, the London-based artist SERAFINE1369 has developed IV (for II) as an extension of the work IV (2023), conceived both as a modular piece and as a dancing practice. A speaking clock that marks the passage of time, a visceral sound scape and two performers will create a shared space, inviting us to linger in a moment of suspension, and to return to ourselves.

As an artist, dancer and body-focused researcher, SERAFINE1369 foregrounds dance as an intimate technology: a means of sensing, processing and relating. They focus on the revelatorypotential of movement and the entangled relationship between time and space. Stillness meets the impossibility of being completely still, allowing the body to attune itself to the moment as it unfolds.

SERAFINE1369 works in a site-responsive way, creating the conditions for a choreographic situation to emerge, in which the performers coexist, informing and getting informed by the flow of the performance. The artist works with the idea that being a spectator means being a witness, and therefore an active participant. The audience thus becomes an implicit contributor to the situation ofthe performance.

All inhabitants of this shared space are prompted to reflect on the nature of movement, even when attempting to stand still. IV (for II) encourages an awareness of the passing of time and seeks a sense of grounding when in constant motion.
