Rays is a mono channel HD video about the acquired knowledge of a group of children about the practice of clairvoyance as a possibility of reading reality. The film is inspired by a performance called Sparks 2021 is based on a small but revolutionary action: consigning in the hands of children the reading of our future as a gesture of hope and rupture with the past. The kids wear the capsculptures, that are a playful echo of elms, but once worn, they mark the beginning of the performance as they shield the children from the direct gaze of the adults.
