The Body Cartography Project...
...is a dance group that goes to different areas around San Francisco, Minneapolis, and New Zealand to perform improvisational contact dance. The focus of the group is to explore the interaction between artistic expression and different social and physical landscapes. Acting, in many ways, as a guerrilla art group, they descend on a site, unannounced and map out movement and sound as an interpretation of each location.
Heather Chou documented and danced with the Body Cartography Project in the San Francisco Bay area for a year. These photos are examples of the mapping of many different sites. Some locations include Marin Headlands, Mountain View Cemetery and The Presidio.
