A video-installation of a 3D robot which disassembles gradually itself. The robot borrows the movements and body parts/pieces from a dancer in real time. As the dancer dress herself up the robot performs its unique task: its self-disassembling.
The virtual puppet of an industrial robot performs its self-assembly responding to the captured motion from a stripping dancer. The performance is recorded. The resulting video footage is projected backwards (from end to beginning), suggesting the idea of the Robot’s Self-disassembly.
