Nuvem

NUVEM is a screendance piece created using the point cloud technique, exploring the boundaries of form and presence within digital space.

The work constructs a sensory landscape where movement is not only choreographic, but also magnetic. As if held in suspension by an unseen magnetic field, NUVEM invites the viewer to immerse themselves in this rarefied universe, where the body’s contours are volatile and time unfolds in slow, continuous transformations.
