Erratic Meandering by Ariane Maugery, France
6.30' Video, 2007

In Erratic Meandering , the walking body diffuses into a floating medium which reveals a specific state of concentration, and step by step, builds up a danced-space upon sliding into the encountered sites. The entanglement of these stratified space-times creates an emotional overwhelming of sensations which produces an intensive, rhythmic experience.
