This black&white film shows a silhouette of a child at various moments of its activity, like crawling, walking and playing. The film consists of several short units, divided by pauses, without a distinct beginning or end. These individual units are not bonded into any logical sequence. Each unit is a separate record, a section of micro life and could function as an independent image.

Black and white allows a better concentration on an indistinct figure, making the picture cleaner and at the same time – less real. The child’s figure is blurred, which creates an illusion that the child is moving faster than the shutter of camera can catch. Just like we could not keep up with the kid. Although we can’t see the child perfectly, it is the main and only character of the film. Even if a different figure appears in the frame, it belongs to the still background, like it didn’t exist in the child’s dimension. There are no still things in a child’s world – everything exists in continual motion, in acquiring new experiences, in constant progress.

I don’t show the child explicitly as it is, I rather attempt to depict how I perceive it. I love this child but I am aware that it is a separate being, living beside me but in a different dimension. However I am trying very hard to understand it, to feel what it feels, its perception of reality is beyond my capabilities.
