  Flipeography is a multidisciplinary project that involves the arts of choreography/dance, photography and animation. It presents short dance pieces through photographic sequences that are mounted in a perpendicularly to the wall as opposed to flat against it, as if they were flipbooks.
Since they are very close together, the viewer is able to see the movement while passing his/her finger through the sequence of pictures. This time Barragan joins the her art and creativity with San Francisco -based photographer Jeff Braverman, Ecuadorian composer Nelson García, who gave her the idea of mounting an exhibition with it, and Mexican visual artist Antonio Alvarez.
Choreography is an art that involves decision-making while using time and space, and its media is the human body. In Flipeography these three elements are altered from their original context and they are controlled by the viewer. The bodies are still human, but they are not live performers.
