Parades is an initiation into a mysterious pagan celebration composed of powerful images that lie between fable and allegory. Within this living installation populated by four humans, at times chimeric figures, divine silhouettes, or mere mortals, bodies come to life, intersect, unite, and regenerate in an imaginary interrelation. The scenes follow one another in a parade of raw emotions, absorbing the multitude of increasingly improbable environments, all to transfigure the starkness of the immanence of being.
