The images show close-ups of people in a subway, usually with closed eyes, but it is unclear who or where they are. We hear a hesitating woman's voice saying something, but it is unclear who is speaking and to whom. And since they are speaking a language totally unknown to me, there is also a language barrier. Then a text appears over these images which seems to be subtitling of the situation. Now it becomes clear that there has been a crash on the Internet. After this crash, someone had gone looking for his/her friends on the net, but she can't find them, just bodies. But how body and soul can be related is no longer known. We are told that anthropological studies have shown that bodies used to have their own sign syvoice, a body language, but no-one knows it any more, in the same way that sexual identity of bodies has been completely forgotten. An thus, the bodies have apparently become shelters for several Internet identities who no longer recognize themselves as multiple forms of the same person/body. The people apparently have had a form without a body, but with their own forms of self expression. In the absence of this, the question arises as to how the one body can express all the many forms. Now, who is it who looked, who spoke and who wrote the texts and why should the stories be related? And who was it there who played the saxophone and the bass so splendidly?
