This short movie was conceived during the Covid-19 lockdown, a period in which body culture and the pursue of healthy indoor habits became predominant in the visual spectrum of our daily social-video intake. The movie is a simple video workout in homage to Jean-Luc Godard, investigating different ways to conceive time and it’s perceived linear progression, several paces dictate the timing of the movie: the frames, the editing, the steps, Jean-Luc Godard’s movie on a screen, the appearance and disappearance of the main character similar, all in a space that exemplifies the sense of limitation and it’s crossing in a continuous repetition…for as long as the workout and lockdown happens.
