long synopsis
In Body Projections, rhythm, ritual and suggestion replace measurements and learning in a dreamlike exploration of why, as a species, we have such a history of body decoration. Using projected animation on pixiliated bodies, the film asks why humans paint their bodies – is it a sexual or even territorial gesture or are the body’s cells shouting out in self expression?
