Like two contemplative warriors, they move from invocation to evocation. Body, memory, thought, images, traces exist somewhere between form and formlessness in their shapeshifting dance. Following the patterns of a yantra, a ritualized geometric space inspired by diagrams and games, they construct an architecture of sound and movement: an imaginary temple.
