Empty stare in an empty world

2025•13m
Drama

The short film focuses on a young man who seems to be struggling to manage the "demands" of everyday life. From the very beginning, we notice that every movement he makes exudes fatigue, and his gaze is expressionless. Despite his mental discomfort, he manages to prepare for his visit to the family doctor in order to be informed about his health condition.

Hisser

Hisser

2015
Movie

The story told in Hisser was inspired by a true occurrence. In 2013, a young man in Florida was literally "swallowed up by the earth" when a cesspool suddenly opened up under his bedroom. The film's main setting is a bedroom by night. From the way it was shot, the viewer has the feeling of peering into an abandoned life-size dollhouse. Other sequences show close-up views of a young man lying on a bed with a tormented look on his face or cowering in a corner. The scene is accompanied by an exaggeratedly romantic song whose refrain – "It took me so long to get my feet back off the ground" – alludes to the loss of a loved one and a sense of abysmal loneliness. The song's emotionality contrasts starkly with the artificiality of the scene. The boundary between reproduction and reality grows fluid, and the virtuality – which the artist has carried to a near- perfect extreme – begins to crumble in view of the protagonist's physical and emotional frailty.
