Science and aesthetics struggle for dominance in this video for fashion brand Ergo Proxy. Exploring the contrasts—in a mesmeric, dual performance—between a scientific and artistic way of living, the featured dancer performs the Dying Swan; a fluid and despairing piece constrained by an exoskeleton of cables, plastics, masks, and technologies.

"This set up perfectly displays the passion and conscious choice for an aesthetic life that is doomed to fail," explains the London-based Ergo Proxy. "But that choice is made regardless, and carried through to the bitter end."
