The project is based on photographic series Le Mouvement by
Étienne-Julese Marey from late 19th century, which analyze human
movement usinig photographic image. Movement is depicted as a scheme
eliminating any objects or spacial elements that are usually the
targets of photographic apparatus. Our central point is the picture of
the figure covered in black clothes with white marks used for further
movement analysis. We want to find the body in the space again. To do
so we will paradoxically focus on its absence. We use the language of
science to weaken the racional, transfering the focus from its results
to its means.
