The sentiment driving this work is connection. Connection between people and connection with the natural world.

Over 30 people unite in movements to create a large human kaleidoscope, performed under a huge copper beech tree on a meadow of grass and flowers on the grounds of a water-castle. It is a meditative work with an almost spiritual feel. As raindrops fall on the faces of the performers, they share in the experience of connection.

Sylvia creates a body of work that re-presents these feelings. Her 2-channel film transports us back into the performance. One channel is screened on a wall, the other on a ceiling, drawing the viewer into the meadow, the rain, the slow turning of the kaleidoscope above.
