In reference to the history of photography (Muybridge) and to early film, the work consists of a series of
24 analog photographs that were also unified in a very short film. The first sequence of 3 seconds is looped
and combined with the second sequence of the same imagery but played backwards. As part of the series
“ migrant-media”, the protagonist of the film is the “migrant”, this time offering a flower in the direction of
the camera – in search of an encounter, a human touch.
