DANI LIMA ENGLISH: Do the parts speak of the whole?

Do the parts speak of the whole?

a body that sees and is seen
listens and is heard
touches and is touched
feels and is felt

Do the parts speak of the whole? is the intersection of dance and visual arts. An interactive choreographical installation that explors the relationship between body and space, confronting the spectators with their habitual perceptions of space: body spaces, space for art and their own space as audience.

Arm, part, reflex, word, foot, face... do the parts speak of the whole? Is it possible to perceive the whole ? Does the point of view modify what is perceived?
