The video “The Body Persists”, explores the relationship between the body, rhythm, and the digital environment through the thematic axis Human Machine. The work focuses on the human body as a rhythmic unit, revealing its mechanical dimension without the explicit presence of technological symbols. Through close-up shots and the rhythmic function of breathing, a process of transformation unfolds, where embodied rhythm gradually shifts and reconfigures. The piece is also situated in dialogue with practices of video art and performance art that approach the body as a carrier of rhythm and presence.
