Bodies of Water(2024)

This poetic, enveloping, and suffocating mass unites them, separates them, and constitutes them. The film explores the transformation of human bodies when they interact with water—a fluid and adaptable medium that simultaneously offers resistance. It plunges you underwater for an immersive experience that reveals a rare and otherwise inaccessible contemporary dance.
