The artist duo Asef-Burckhardt filmed this dialog of movement as a 28-minute one-shot video on the steep coast at The Sea Ranch, California, inspired by the artist-couple Anna and Lawrence Halprin. Their dialog searches for a sensitive language set in the tension between attraction and resistance. The performer and camera move towards each other between dense fog, heavy wind, and rough coast. They navigate the landscape and become part of it: as mimicry with environment in constant motion.
