(In)Dividual
During a medical exam, a young girl dreams that she’s inside her mind. Dragged by her antagonist (the prompter of her seizures) into an identity-warpping quest, she explores the different sections of her personality – unusual spaces full of surreal metaphors. Only when she ceases questioning who she is, may she realise that the cause for
her misfortune had always been on the palm of her hand.

Being Uncanny
The birth of a being occurs in a space through a genuine and innocent movement. During the action, this space becomes complex and confusing, bringing different individuals together. Some are deformed by lines and light, others look real. Simplicity turns into complexity, plain images into catastrophes. Faces expand and become concepts and ideas. Imagination becomes vision.
