This film is a style exercise about the role of bodies in spaces, using plays on movements. The framing creates strange relationships between perspectives and parts of the body by way of mirror reflections. A mixture of performance and filmic construction, the relationship of people and their movements in space is depicted through everyday stagings, such as someone looking out of a window. The depth of field allows several situations to be juxtaposed, disrupting the relationship to the frame, as the spectator does not automatically identify the action in the image. This principle of framing with mirrors prefigures the cutting work, since these reflections create openings that transform the logic of architectures.
