SYNOPSIS

Video shows a back of a female torso, which moves against a black background. Isolated from the rest of the body, several layers of the torso travel over the screen and interact in a semi controlled manner. The fact that we are watching a human body is only revealed after a while, as the layering partially abstracts the moving images. The migration of layers creates a video collage, slowly shifting from figurative to abstract expressions and back. A strong organic and corporeal charge changes into an optical surface through a ceremonial movement. Video is a part of "Black Waters and Other Stories" series of short videos with no narrative structure.
