“ZENITH: Frames of a Great Poetic Game” is an audiovisual project by Filipe Baptista composed of a series of thirteen moving pictures. In each picture we see a body-landscape, materialized by the figure of a performer. The movement of the bodies and the words that echo from them serve, along with the audiovisual landscape, as the raw material to paint this set of short visual poems.
