In the work of Berlin artist, Peter Welz, the dancer's body becomes the construction engineer of a new media dance image. The dancer's movement is being filmed from above, while the movement of the hands in space is additionally recorded by two finger cameras, which document the surrounding space as well as the dancer. The recorded and projected images create graphic patterns, which are projected onto a sketch sheet.
The film shots were recorded at the beginning of September 2003 in Frankfurt/Main.
