Description
"Video live action, closed circuit work, created during an action.
In the center of a large, circular area made of salt, the artist lies on a smaller, also round moss base, wrapped in a bow like an arrow waiting to be shot.
The scene is observed, recorded and transmitted by a video camera that circles the salt circle in a metal rail on the floor. On the screen you can see the scene with the actor caught in the arch, slowly turning in circles."
