Adapting a figure’s dance-like contortions to a graphic field, this video explores the issue of crossing boundaries in search of territorial alternatives. Through the language of the body and shadows projected against various planes, we experience the need to transgress the limits so often imposed on human freedom, and which are contrary to basic human instinct.





Pablo Ribot was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina on April 10, 1968. In 1994 he received a Master’s Degree in music and fine arts from the National University of La Plata, in Buenos Aires, and in 1999 he was awarded a scholarship to the Xavier Corberó Foundation in Barcelona, Spain. He has participated in several group exhibitions in Buenos Aires and Barcelona, where he currently lives.
