Movement starts in the mind. Mathieu Labaye’s three-part work is something of a textbook example for this: she wakes up, animates lifeless things, creates worlds that don’t really exist – she is transformation and metamorphosis. The film deals with a social topic with mathematical precision, until at the end all that remains is dance, supposedly the quintessential form of movement.
