The "Life Forms" computer programme for choreography, which was developed by Merce Cunningham, has been used as the starting point for this short film. In co-operation with Albert Jan van der Stel, Janica Draisma created a choreography for three virtual Life Form figures. The figures, which are built up from rings, dance regardless of gravitation, place or time, with edited images of the sea providing the background.
Ausgangspunkt für diesen Kurzfilm ist das von Merce Cunningham entwickelte "Life Forms"-Computerprogramm für choreographische Gestaltung. Janica Draisma schuf in Zusammenarbeit mit Albert Jan van der Stel eine Choreographie für drei virtuelle Life Forms-Figuren. Die aus Ringen bestehenden Figuren tanzen frei von Zeit, Raum und Schwerkraft vor der Weite eines Meereshorizonts.
