The gesture of drawing light with a body movement, Form 24, is a series of pictures saved on a small digital photocamera. The sequence is then played in loop on the screen and becomes a sort of a unitary video. Initially the pictures seem to be abstract graphics digitally produced with a software.

As the video unfolds, the frames reveal their analogue origin. With the final frames it becomes possible to grasp the presence of the body of the artist, which uses a simple technique of light drawing to fool the perception of the audience.
