In these sense, fear, escape, despair are some parameters which prevails as leitmotiv in these new approach.

TRIP N´ A HALF
Corporal interaction of two people who struggle to stand and become detached at the same time.

The space is reduced to the mere action, until the point of view gets wider, and enables to perceive the outstanding and unusual of the hunt.
