‘Focii’ brings together performance art and film. A woman dances and mimes, her stark white image moving across a red floor, reflected in a fractured wall of mirrors. As she performs, her mirror image gradually assumes an autonomous identity so that what was a central relationship of self to self has become one self to other. It’s an emotional shift made possible by the physical properties of the film.
