The Flies Hum thy Name

Trying to reflect on the relationship between body, gender, environment and public space, we began the deconstruction of our own bodies and their limitations, which we then transformed into a poetic video work.

The film merges images of Super8 and digital footage with self-written poetry and self-performed choreography. The performers are in an empty, dry swimming pool, and simultaneously in an imaginary space overlapped with projections of water. We witness a sequence of tragic allegories: impossible desires, cyborg bodies, a flooded and polluted environment. The two seek for the public in the private, they are longing for the origins: the watery feel of the womb, for being one with themselves and with nature. Unity is found within the process.
