Human forms in Shapes dance to J.S. Bach´s breakneck runs on the harpsicord. However the animated steciled spray paintings of plump discus throwers and wiry girls quickly confuse our culturally conditioned eye: What´s male, what´s female?
The music quickens. As they dance in a sped-up micro-evolution, their movements become increasingly volutpuous, their bodies fullermore: feminine it would seem, but who could say in this case?

Silhouettes of human figures move following baroque-music (Johann Sebastian Bach).
