This screen choreography in black and white was inspired by the Japanese game Mikado. Between the dance scenes, pictures and actions of black sticks are shown.
Gravity, motion and standstill, changes, reactions, geometrical forms and body landscapes, as well as similarities and contrasts of human being and object are central themes of this video film.

La coreografia fotografica in bianco e nero è stata ispirata del gioco gapponese e mostra fra le scene di danza quadri e azioni dei bastoni neri. Gravità, movimento e fermezza, gambiamenti, reazioni, forme geometriche e paesaggi del corpo e anche i similitudini e contrasti del essere umano e del oggetto sono dei temi centrali di questo film video.
