ON A BODY

On a Body is a video-dance short film that connects body and light in a dreamy, abstract experience. The interpreter’s choreography interacts with the images that are projected in him in a symbiotic game. His body assumes the role of a canvas that is painted with images and sensations, alluding to the relationship between subject and nature, and the way both shape each other. In life, we are shaped by projections that are screened on us and that identify us at our surface, as we move in time and space. We are dancers in the dark, as the world leaves its mark on our skin.
