Patrón: flexión, rotación, desplazamiento  (Pattern: bending, rotating, displacing)  is the study of body movement through video and illustration

Patrón: flexión, rotación, desplazamiento is a study of body movement through video and illustration, proposing systems of translation that underscore the impermanence of movement and the space it occupies. Taking experimentation with the body in the studio as a starting point, the resulting movement is defined by its immediacy and minimal nature. It is movement that the body has not yet understood to be coded. Considering movement as a collection of images that occur exactly as scripted by the filmmaker opens the possibility of reflecting on the sequence in terms of space.

In this way, the most minimal gesture can capture the experimental intentionality of dance by Bruce Nauman and Trisha Brown in the 60s, adapting the challenges of the body and its occupation of space to our current context. Through this attention to the most minimal detail, it is possible to develop sensitivity; there are changes we should be mindful of, as it is their occurrence that causes the gesture.
