When the everyday ritual of undressing becomes an ode to the female body and a hypnotic game of passion and rejection unfolds in a waiting room, we are already right in the middle of section four of this year’s competition. Here, dancing clay figures undergo more and more daring transformations in an attempt to satisfy the insatiable demand of an imaginary audience, and computer algorithms pull us into a mesmerizing world of sound and movement. Fly Us To The Moons!
