The curved glass and the water create a multilayered transparent environment for the composition of the video, which is visible in different angels and perspectives.
Depending on the angle of view, the displayed video appears multiplied, contorted or magnified. The magnifying glass effect gives the viewer the opportunity to zoom into the microscopic world, where humans create with their choreographic formation messages with their bodies.
