The afternoon of an infinite day
“The afternoon of an infinite day. Duet” investigates the automatic movements of everyday life and work. What is hidden behind these seemingly empty movements? Do they belong to us at all? Everyday routines can make us believe that there is no way out but through repetition. But when we were born, our bodies were loose and free. Little by little they were trained and appropriated for their duties in the social system. But what happens when we experience moments that give new meaning to our daily lives? Are we still the same people after we have seen and recognized ourselves differently? Wrapped in loneliness and the power of being together, everyone experiences feelings of longing, blindness, uprootedness and silence. The duet dives into the transit of being and we cease to be automatons.
