Vicinity is a performance of the movement between body and string.

Thin strings are pulled in between a person dressed in an elastic costume and the wall of the room. As the second person pulls the rope more and more, the movements of the central person changes, still holding the controlled and smooth rhythm. The movement gets more limited and the atmosphere varies from calmness to suffocating in a confined surrounding. The picture develops continually until the end when the person gets out of the costume and leaves it hanging in the web, like the animal that just shed its skin.

Vicinity contains thoughts of interaction and ability to make choices, adaptability in restriction of movement and space and constant innovation.
