“The sound is more elaborate and has the function of declaring what is, in each moment, the distance that really is maintained by the camera, actor and screen. The sound describes the space that we seen in the video. The piece is constructed by two stereos and the speakers must be arranged in a specific way in the space, so that from the sound, the spectator can manage to reconstruct how is the space that the character inhabits, which is very difficult to determine if you are guided by the images that are constantly in movement, forming a complex mechanism, in which the camera movements on screen provoke camera movements on set and vice versa.”
