The simple act of crossing the street. A banal, daily act, shared by thousands of people in the same city in a single moment; a corporal mass without identity. In the flux, the comfortable sensation of being anonymous. Suddenly, a rupture happens. The body releases itself and becomes free. This body in suspense starts to express a will and to reinvent itself. But which way should it choose?
