Kŏn′voi′ is an experimental short film about planetary caretaking. A group of travelers of unknown origin arrive out of nowhere into an open landscape. Over the course of a day, they explore and scan the environment with triangular signaling devices. Their sensual decoding of the need to take care of this planet is conveyed through a choreography of sign language.

Development of a toolkit for sheltering and for the improvisation of a sign language. Compositions and juxtapositions between performers and the triangular elements form ephemeral sculptures.
