Wochenbett (Postpartum)

“Postpartum“ describes the chaotic phase in life of a new mother. Pumped up with hormones and lacking sleep, this intense time has burned deep into the protagonist’s heart.

Suspensão (Poise)

A sad, restrained man lying in his empty room’s bed. Hesitates, ponders hypotheses in a cycle without deciding. He’s stuck. In the exhaustion, every anguish equals one another. Another man sitting by the window, looks at him and at the street. The man almost decides – and they return to themselves and to the city, the time and the movement.
