Full credits

Hans Op de Beeck directed a group of 800 costumed volunteers in a huge vacant warehouse space. The video was made with four moving cameras recording simultaneously from different angles.

synopsis

An abstract video about people in motion, about saying goodbye and about the tragedy of what appears to be the total interchangeability of the individual in the grand scheme of things. The title itself refers to migration as an unsteady, rhythmically irregular movement, a balancing act. In the film, the extras all perform a silent and synchronised sequence of extremely simple movements, like a choreography of everyday activities. The banality of each small movement is magnified by the collective effort. This is a video about people leaving everything behind, either because they can or because they have to. In a subtle way, the artist is touching on both voluntary and forced migration; on the refugee in search of a better future, but also on deportation and exile.
