Threshold was filmed during a single day in the Bauhaus Archive in Berlin; Olafson’s video records the artist responding to the subtle yet repetitive movements of László Moholy-Nagy’s Light Prop for an Electric Stage. Restricted by the spatial parameters of the small and enclosed space of the storage room in which the archive’s curatorial staff had set up the Light Prop, Olafson uses this imposed structure as a framework instead of a limitation. In advance of the visit, Olafson had been contemplating the problem of how to engage with the artwork on a physical level. Electing to wait until she “met the sculpture,” Olafson allowed the movement of the Light Prop to determine her own, improvising and experimenting with movement on site and on camera.
