Documentary, Fantasy
Lies are just another way of telling the truth. The desire to believe is the hand of the man hanging from a cliff and clinging to the only stone that would seem to save him. But he always ends up falling because the stone is a mirage, just as the cliff is. Death is awakening from this dream in which the essential can be said and in which the continuous and infinite has a beginning, an end and a meaning.

In this video series an individual confronts fears and, through the process of confessing directly to the camera, transcends trauma.

The tapes rupture, fracture, and use digital effects to mirror the psychological changes of the protagonist.Lena
