‘Humana’ is a dance film that imitates the body language of spiders and explores the idea of film editing as a primary tool for choreography. Playing in the space between reality and surrealism, I alienate the bodies so that the line between a spider and a human becomes blurred: has the spider become human or has the human become an animated animal?
