“When I am alone, I often feel the comforting presence of someone, or something, nearby.” An interactive video and performance/choreography piece inspired by text from The Body: An Essay by Jenny Boully. Two dancers writhe and shift onto two shifting projections which resemble windows on the floor. The Body: An Essay consists of empty pages with footnotes which refer to the “missing” body on the page.
