I used the space in which I was performing as an actual stage, with the camera being my audience. I set up a central perspective to reinforce this idea and captured as much as I could of the vault above me to reinforce the idea of a low point of view and a wide angle. I performed together with my shadow and a projection of the same performance, captured from a different angle the day before to obtain the effect of multiplicity that I mentioned earlier.
 
Of the images that I shot, I chose the ones that I thought were more significant and I mounted them together with cross dissolve effects between them, as I had done with the previous performance, creating a narrative that was being controlled by me.
 
This is a linear narrative, as it can only be experienced as one image after the other and the images, even if selected from all the ones that were shot, are displayed in the video in chronological order.
 
In this video I work with the following materials:

• Body
• Space
• Time (the passing of time can be seen through the window and, in the background, there is a projection of me performing the same action in the past).
• The mundane
• A ritual.
• The uncanny (portrayed through the shadow, which sometimes seems to be doing something different to what the performer is doing)
• The multiplicity of a single body (it feels like there is a crowd in the room, when there is only me)
