Traces
Hubert Sielecki – 2006, 3:30 min, BetaSP, Austria
A movement towards another person starts and ends suddenly with the appearance of a sign. Then movement begins again. In numerous replays a self tries to change the patterns of seeing, hearing and movement in order to break away from the beaten track.
