Othello is an experimental dance and music video. Music by the italian band Giardini Di Miro (2nd rec).

The video translates the plot of W. Shakespeare`s play into a body and camera choreography.
It shows the timeless conflicts of human existence.

„Grey sportswear takes on profound embodied significance in this transgressive cinematic marvel. Ropes hold our bodies, squirming towards nowhere unfold my limbs please. There`s nothing that can be said about this film; it must be viewed and experienced.“
(Images Festival Toronto, catalogue text)

5:36 min, sound, colour, 2007
