When dance becomes rapture in the haze of a rave. Structured around a single, slow-motion take of dancer Xristina Prompona, the multilayered editing approach suspends the viewer in an immersive flow of ecstatic motion. Music is by TA2MI, a buddhist priest, music producer and hip hop DJ from Japan. The edit eschews visible cuts and replaces them with multiple superimpositions, evoking projection visuals for live stage performance.
