Bodies of Water

The swimming pool seems somewhat abandoned at the end of the day. Until, suddenly, several bodies appear in it. Did someone throw them in the water? Did they fall in? Or do they just want to enjoy a casual evening refreshment? After a while, the bodies begin to move, creating an immersive abstract image of desire, docility, lightness and perseverance in a rippling choreography. This visually unique VR dance film uses an underwater camera and ingenious lighting compositions to capture the essence of vulnerability and the unrelenting determination of human bodies.
