November 2024, experimental single-channel video, 4:54

Materials : Car parts, yarn, fries, ketchup, screen

Résumé: Poetic and visceral meditation on burnout, productivity culture, and the alienation of the self in a consumer-driven society. Through an assemblage of discarded car parts and absurd imagery, the film draws parallels between the human body and a malfunctioning machine. The protagonist exists in a state of denial, navigating a natural landscape where nothing belongs, not the car, not her injuries, not even herself.

Themes: Burnout, disembodiment, capitalist alienation, consumerism, nature vs. machine, gender, crisis of self, dissociation, productivity, surrealism

Concept: The film questions what happens when a person, or society, detaches so deeply from the body and nature that they become “moving images”, existing only through performance, mediated reality, or the gaze. There’s no repair manual, no toolbox, no one to call. The main character cannot escape her context; she is both trapped and normalized in a broken system, watching her identity erode through over-identification with output and productivity.
