END CYCLE
Utterly reduced movability and tension of a physical body set in an abandoned factory plant. In an empty machineless space a human body is attuned to the working rhythm of archaic pulsation. Slow and hyper-controlled movements strive to maintain cohesion, but the shedding of the surface layers represents the unstoppable process of dematerialization. Body positions point to collective memory of the physical structure of things disappearing in the intense cold of the calculus. The traumatic position of the corporal is revealed by the circular, unstoppable movement towards the data conversion of the material world. Most of the film soundtrack is created by interventions on the audio track of breathing during the performance without the presence of an audience.
