In this video, two Russian contemporary video artists, Viktor Alimpiev and Marian Zhunin, stage a choreography of apparently conformist, uniformed bodies. The perfection of the actions is ironically interrupted (in the image as well as in the soundtrack), in order to raise questions about the relationship between the individual and the mass. In its staging, it is visually reminiscent of Russian avant-garde theatre at the beginning of the 20th century.
