HOME.) showing woman dancing in a modern house, but with no face visible. The figure doing a 'map' of the everyday home life. 'Zuzanna Janin invites us to dance around her space and to investigate it with her steps to the music. "Culture" represented by the house smoothly transforms into "nature" represented by the garden.' The work is the same time a visualisation of the poetics of space and memory - work was done in Warsaw, in the studio of the artist who signals in her art the collective and private memory of city she lives in; next generation's residents leaving in peace in the town with a tragic history of the WW2. Women dancing freely figure leads us through a modern, empty house, creating a map of everyday movement, symbolizing stage of 'in between'. We do not know the age of a woman - can be 20 or 60 years old. Her slender figure dancing in a black dress and two different little shoes: red-orange and bright-yellow, call simultaneity of the contradictions, pointing to grieve, solitude, abandonment and to the existential poetry of joy, hope and freedom in the film.
