Image and music creator Walter Verdin requested a couple of colleagues, among them Jo Huybrechts, to make a short video for the creation of his work ’Title Safe’. The artists worked independently, sticking to some rhythmical and technical rules of editing. The videos were shown in a sequence, as if they were stanzas in a long musical composition. Jo Huybrechts highlighted a single visual element from his contribution to show it in a loop. Because of a mirror effect it is as if two parallel hands try to grab one another, creating waving patterns, a kinetic flow of images against a background of rubbing sounds.
