Bodies Without Organs
1:1 A-C (Fire Cycle) is a short video piece exploring a person, or group of people's, emotional responses to their surroundings, the motions they must go through in these spaces, and the actions of others. These kinds of responses are often visceral, quick, and in-the-moment. As such they are shown to be abstract and elemental, here as fire based phenomenon.
