-273.15: a series of body rituals
Body and camera collaborate to create three distinct visual experiences of ritual. Through rigorous processes of imagination, performers experiment with specific ways of meeting and being with the body. Inspired by the fundamental states of matter, the movement explorations draw on scientific phenomena in the search of reaching an altered state of being.
