A dancer is invited to compose and to perform a scene with the poses taken from photographs of actual demonstrations. In the short video, the dancer rehearses under special lighting before a black background. During her performance, the dancer stands still for some seconds, as if her body was a monument, every time when her body matches the posture of a protestor.
