Bodymap is a complex video installation made up of 15 screens, each containing the video footage of a section of a man’s body. The visual map created by the screens is an emotional collection of 250 rites selected from the Web. Without any scientific value, the videos have been catalogued in four categories: State, Religion, Art, and Body and Community. In four minutes (the total length of the installation), the parts of the body make 4 movements which mark the passage from one category to the next. The rites video mapped on each section of the body have a variable duration.
The map is characterized by gestures coinciding repeatedly, but done in a distant time and space.
