The video is based on the performance of the same title. The performance allowed a direct contact with the public, while video (media) enabled a control over image and specific interventions, such as the montage of static images with elements of urban environment, contrapunct between a whole (wide plane) and detail (close up). Video is composed by sequences that are constructed on the principle of montage and synchronised with sound. The relation static image (slide) - body movement (silhouette) - sound (music) is a predominant feature of this video.
