Four of William Forsythe’s Choreographic Objects – a series of works to which the choreographer and installation artist devoted extensive research on the activation of complex systems through movement – can be physically engaged with at the MAK. William Forsythe’s great works City of Abstracts (2001), Nowhere and Everywhere at the Same Time, Nr. 2 (2013), Putting one foot in front of the other (2019) and Attempt to walk without a rhythm (2023) use, among other things, a floating field of pendulums to provide us with a first-hand experience of how we organise our surroundings and, in turn, are organised by them. From the festival opening on 11 July until 18 August, the walk-in installations at MAK are open to visitors during the opening hours of the museum.
