Arques & Vierthaler chose a philosophical study of the actions/emotions realised daily                           by human beings as their motivational crux. ‘Relationships’ played a key part in the
movement conception, determined by a focus on opposites.

develop – regress
        freedom – boundaries
                    intimacy – distance
                                 communication – silence
                                                      selfless – selfish
                                                                    desire – repulsion
                                                                                    trust – betrayal

These difficult, yet familiar actions/emotions were elected as they determine sanity
of mind and physical comfort, as well as the trauma that mankind can bequeath.
Whether acknowledged or not, beneficial or otherwise – ‘relationships’ are what make
individuals feel alive and necessary, explored in UNSOUND through an unbounded
movement-dialogue.
