SHIFTING TOOLS

A moving body is a perfect machine where all its elements operate a continuous game of shift, replacements and variations. Music writes (gives) the rules of the game. A camera becomes the player who combines and manages the infinite possibilities that are revealed from multiple perspectives. Who is the conductor of this orchestra?
