Casting for the Ark, single -channel video with sound, 5:00 minutes, 2007
The video Casting for the Ark presents a small aristocratic living room. One after another, couples enter the room and each of them performs a different animal-like posture taken form Yoga practice. The group follows an inner spatial and social code that soon collapses due to the lack of space, creating physical and psychological imbalance. Both the title and the sound track refer to a sense of an outside catastrophe that becomes more and more apparent as the non-narrative video progresses.
