Summary :
This video stages a female character and fragments of paintings in a dance movement. The metaphorical body is the essence of this artwork. Two stories are told in the present and past tense : one is about man's struggle for life and the threat of his intervention on nature; the other evokes the wilderness, through paintings by Caravaggio, Della Francesca and Douanier Rousseau, from which characters and animals emerge.
