SYNOPSIS
Line through cutted trees
A forest with cutted trees. A short red line appears discretly. It grows and expands to take all the space of the screen. Like the motorway, which cross the forest and takes all the sound space of it.
About Alice and Evamaria’s work :
We like to make clear and simple choices of actions, to appear and disappear, to blend our bodies and to create optical illusions. In some actions, we blend into the space, using our skin to create a dialogue with the wood (of the trees or the beams). In others, we choose a colourful object linking our bodies and interacting with the space by creating contrasts. Our actions are playful, sometimes sensual, sometimes absurd, like magicians whose tricks are almost trivial, yet poetic.
