Mirte van Duppen, 2020, NL, 12 min
Around its own axis showcases the infinite, repetitive rhythm of the automated Dutch agricultural landscape.

Thus, the silences and tranquility of the landscapes, interacting with the impulsive actions and mistakes of the machine, become an integral part of the choreography.
