BOXedOUT
@MPAVILION
A collaborative dance film project led by Gilda and dancer Amber McCartney. Taking viewers on a mesmerising journey through a high-intensity dance duet that unfolds within a boxing ring, the project weaves together the grace and precision of dance with the raw energy of a fight in a hybrid movement-art form that transcends traditional boundaries.
BOXedOUT was exhibtied in the Tadao Ando designed 2023/2024 MPavilion. It took place across multiple screens, each representing a different ’round’ of the boxing match.
Connecting to Tadao Ando’s personal journey from professional boxer to architect, the artistic presentation was enhanced by this synergy, creating an immersive experience where the viewers could appreciate the fusion of movement, space, and storytelling.
