"Embodiment studies I" consists of a continuous record-inquiry. The intention is for the viewer to contrast and compare the bodily reactions that other people present when dealing with specific issues. Currently the piece consists of a single channel that contains 21 interviews with people of different nationalities. An audio recording (in English or Spanish, depending on the language of the interviewee) guided the participants by asking them six questions. The time to answer each one was one minute.

So far the participants were young people between 20 and 35 years old but in the future more video channels will be added with interviews with diverse people, including children or old people.

There is a very interesting difference in the bodily behavior of people while they speak and this depends on the culture, their personality and the topic treated.
