XXX

2024 · 23 min

An experimental, essayistic watch that blurs staged and documentary modes, asking you to sit with uncomfortable images and think rather than feel your way through.

Overview
I thought it would be a symbolic, cathartic experience. Initially, it was a response to the violence of certain representations. I thought that perhaps, by confronting them with an inverted image of violence, we would obtain something akin to a repaired image. It's a film-laboratory, somewhere between staged scenes and documentary, that attempts to grasp where violence goes in the reserves of our consciousness.
