IT'S UNDER THE FLESH WHERE YOU ARE TENDER
This film delves into the intrusion of the physical and material body, structured around three fundamental instructions:
scour, submerge, submit.
It represents a progression in the search within, driven by the need to pierce through the flesh and opacity of the body to uncover what resides inside, whether out of morbid curiosity or as a form of love. One can only love what one knows. Discovering that interior - bloody, organic, natural, dark, and secret - lays the foundations of self-love.
With the aid of new medical technologies, it is now possible to delve into our most vulnerable interior. Small robotic pincers assist us in performing this act of love.
Double 8mm projected as 16mm. 2023.
