Gravity
This experimental video celebrates the simplest conflicts of being alive. I explore the movement between my body and the city, and how our bodies strive to defy reality and gravity. I set out to discover what is physically possible and what is not. With my small photo camera I took short clips of myself around New York City. The poem came later. In it, I explore how through imaginative and real movement, we can experience life in a different way.

In this short experimental video Gravity, artist Andrea Lira's sudden camera movements break up reality only to reassemble it afresh.
Movement is life.
Never stop, even when you fall.
Not knowing what is next.
I try to reach you,
no matter how far are you,
how little I know you.
I am not afraid.
I will create my own world,
where I can jump from place to place.
Landing in a foreign country each day,
I am not afraid of what happens next.
I don't fall, it is the world that is upside down.
