Studies: Obliteration （临摹：湮没）

Run time: 8:42

Studies: Obliteration is the latest iteration of Future Host’s Studies dance cycle. This film explores the idea of qi and its bodily expression. Qi could be interpreted as breath, force, air, or an opaque, fluid system of knowledge and communication. The work captures qi and its ubiquitous and cryptic quality by attending to prelinguistic and nonverbal communications in sound, movement, and image.
