Synopsis
Shapes
Human forms in Shapes dance to J.S. Bach's breakneck runs on the harpsicord. However the animated steciled spray paintings of plump discus throwers and wiry girls quickly confuse our culturally conditioned eye: What's male, what's female?
The music quickens. As they dance in a sped-up micro-evolution, their movements become increasingly volutpuous, their bodies fullermore : feminine it would seem, but who could say in this case? (Maya McKechneay)

Silhouettes of human figures move following baroque-music (Johann Sebastian Bach). (M.L.)
