This video installation creates the impression of a constant presence on the other side of a closed door. The inability to open the door, the protagonist’s indifference to what happens beyond it, and the repetition of their movements generate a tense and unsettling atmosphere.
This indifferent and secluded figure forces us to reflect on our actual ability to influence the outside world.
