Miniverse 5 explores the idea to enlarge the microscopic universe and then shrink the massiveness of space into a manageable model. Looking through the round apertures of Miniverse 5 the viewer discover a kaleidoscopic multiplication of a video in an infinite space.
The video presents a bird's eye view of crowds of people dressed in minimalist uniforms that perform synchronized movements. In this choreography the individuals transform into seemingly abstract patterns until finally an ornament emerges like in a kaleidoscope. From this eagle-eye view the crowd has its own distinct rhythm without registering as a sum of its parts. A relationship between performers becomes apparent.
