(Challenging dough, 2005)His piece, Hexagonal Cyclops, was presented in documentation form as a video. A dough headed man is imprisoned in a hexagonal room and pelted with more dough. I most enjoyed the birds eye angle it was filmed from, probably with a fish eye lens, on an aesthetic level. On further research I discovered that the piece was more about the action represented in the video and less about the video itself,
"Soren Dahlgaard 's (Copenhagen) practice, located largely in process-based performance, is broadly reflected in his sculptural, video and photographic works. Dough, as an animated material, has featured as a central element in his performances. Questions relating to form and formlessness, identity and identification, processes of recognition and effacement arise in the subtexts of his work. Hexagonal Cyclops (2000) presents a nightmarishly surreal take on Jeremy Bentham's theory of The Panopticon (1791), an architectural device designed to be the ultimate mode of disciplinary surveillance, wherewith 'invisible' prison guards would be privileged with an omniscient 'God's-eye'."
