meaning of movement
Does "movement" in the following text denote "the transformation of fleeting but decisive sensations of delight, surrender, disgust, surprise, ..."?
Another context:
In other words: through the artwork to ‘trouble the construction and commodification of urban identities’ in a way that
implicitly or explicitly draws in spectators as engaged participants and directs attention to the mechanism or movement of its own ‘labour’ or ‘coming into being’. Not surprisingly various

All the highlighted portion says is that 'a movement/moment/sensation is brief and soon disappears.'

But how can "movement" mean "sensation? All dictionaries state it means something like "motion" or "change in state". Maybe you mean "the change of mood"?
