Oh my crisis2025, video, HD 16:9, color, 13’55
An invisible narrator is slowly losing her grasp of language. How can one keep telling stories? And what becomes of a sentence when it refuses to obey? Enrolled in a linguistic rehabilitation program run by a technolinguistic State, she chooses withdrawal. Between saturated screens and shards of words, refusal becomes refuge. The film explores that fragile space where language falters, saturated with commodified narratives and distorted by the very systems that claim to translate it, until it blurs our sense of ourselves.
