An object slowly goes up and down against a neutral background. Is it an air bubble in a transparent liquid? Or a balloon floating in the greyish-white sky? Edith Dekyndt does not disclose what the filmed object actually is. Like all other videos by Dekyndt, this short work causes us to become fascinated by the small, the unspeakable, the almost intangible. The artist subtly manipulates physical and natural processes, lending a magical dimension to the seemingly everyday and banal.
