description:
This work is an ironic comment on the way in which sport and fysical activities are treated in modern society: the cult of the body, eternal youth etc. It is a contemporary interpretation of Plato’s cave, where the shadows are moving continuously against a background of videoscreens, accompanied by the frenetic rythm of synthetical music.
