'Adieu, Corpus' is a short film about versatility of human body. Body is the flesh, the corpus, the frame for organs, the assembly of limbs, the collection of rules, and the limits by which we define ourselves. The film shows the body as a place, and not as a subject. It is travelling along its borders, groping the way in time through events, rather than linearly, balancing at the edge of the rules, until once...crosses its own limitations and steps out of the frame. The body physically dies converting into virtual one.

In the virtual corridors of houses and flats, beside kips and crumpled bed, empty seats and chairs created the fictitious space of users and their communications. The basis for the project became the capture webcams social network, and the men of different nationalities, geographical and age category. Is it possible to be alone or just to appear this way? Whether individual independence cause disembodied contact? Is social loneliness a temporary state of consciousness, or cyclical and destructive system, including masturbation, sleeping, the search for new contacts and broadcasts? Is every next show becoming the own reflection looking?

"Abstractorium" is a conditional part of brain, where exist non-fixed memoirs, impressions, even a storage of visual waste. The idea of the project is to create and to analyze such a storage. Who is the owner of the storage? It is as well a search of a border between real and unreal, abstract and specific experience. A search of reaction and errors, as well. What is waste in human psychic life, its transition from one condition to another? How and where does it happen? Why what can not a priori waste for us is stored in that place? We are suggesting a number of questions by our video. This is a rebus from image, text and sound, which solution is to be found individually for everyone.
