I created a model of my body by recording the movement of  my hands along myself. This was possible thanks to a set of optical cameras and tracking (VEKVA System created by Jiri Clmelik).

Gestures are leaving marks in space and time. It creates a certain visual structure of human behavior.

Final forms are modified by an unintentional movement of my body. The possibility of endless variations demonstrates the essence of female form – my body acquires the archetypal quality.
The process of creating was recorded, thus the performance accompanies the final sculptural form. Some variations were 3d printed, one was carved in Carrara marble.
