Concept of the video:
Matilde Marín organizes all the staging previous to the shoot: decides intensity of light contrasts, frames, puts her own hands as subject for each register. The unpredicted theatrical ritualizing points to the beginning of the first game. The games link to each other with a character which is transitive and reciprocal at the same time, one is consequence of the other and all are mutually incident.
