Visual Poem

Synopsis

Nearness is a visual poem exploring the unspoken relationship between two bodies in motion. Through proximity, distance, rhythm and response, two dancers move in and out of each other’s space as the camera moves alongside them observing, reacting and becoming part of the exchange. Without dialogue or a fixed narrative, Nearness considers the fleeting connections that emerge when bodies share space, movement and time.
