Zero Dimension

“Dimensión Cero” is an artistic venture that intervolves the stillness of architecture with the fluidity of dance. The architectural space ceases to be a passive object of contemplation when auspiciously awakened by the flow of dance, in a back-and-forth pulsation between a singular body of space and the captivated gaze of the camera.
