Using synthetic moss, zebra patterns, green screens and magic tricks, choreographer and performer Léonard Engel relentlessly attempts to leave his own body behind in a series of short films. Taking his cue from YouTube tutorials, animal documentaries or meditation videos, he twists, chops, multiplies limbs and images, oscillating between hidden creature, hunting figure and morphing monster. An alienation through visual tricks doomed to fail, exposing a body that reminds us of its material existence and its own mortality.
