Dance of the Ruler

Artist Statement

Camilla Metelka (*Berlin, Germany) is an artist and composer whose practice spans film, sound, performance, installation, and choreography. Her performative concerts unfold as multilayered explorations of time, space, and perception, using time-based media to draw attention to movement and its interaction with the body and spatial environments. As a musician, she composes sound pieces through extended techniques, synthesizer, noise and drone elements, voice, and the microphonization of site-specific settings—serving as poetic invitations situated between concept, material, and transformation. In her work, cinematic, sonic, and performative movements become sculptural material—temporal layers that propose shifts in the perception of time and space.
