“Imagine a herd of cows, seen through the window of a moving train. Even if they are standing still, their position in space creates a fascinating game of structure, intervals and speed, combined with the perspective and the speed of the train where the passenger is seated. The image of the cows through the window evolves following a set of very precise rules. This observation was the occasion to use the principle of this phenomenon as a composition tool and to create an optical illusion, where the audience does not pass in front of a static formation but instead the dancers recreate an apparent movement on the stage.”
