6m 10s
A body. A fragmented mental space. A scream being prepared, being held back. A cry that shatters. Through five successive states — Invocation, Dissolution, Inner Pain, Nervousness/Tension, Desertion — a man passes through the disintegration of its flesh, the loss of orientation, and the abandonment of physical landmarks. Throughout this journey, the body twists, fades, and reconstructs itself as nervous vibrations and spasms, until it becomes nothing but a floating imprint in space. This narrative is not a story to be understood, but an experience to be endured: that of a being who, unable to contain itself, ends up becoming echo, emptiness, silence.
