The dancer holds a piece of cloth. As it moves along with the rhythm of her body, it is an extension of her passion for dance. It is a metaphor for the eternal interplay between emotion and action, the way that our physical and mental selves combine to create something beautiful. As the cloth moves, the dancer is tapping into something beyond the physical realm, something that speaks to the soul and to the power of the imagination. There is a grace to it, a beauty that comes from the harmony of movement and emotion, of body and cloth. Created specifically for a Sentient Anamorphic Screen, this collection of anamorphic films are inspired by the deeply private story of the dancer, so close to Avi, the film-maker.
