Many people who protest injustices, are also the perpetrators of injustice acts. This kind of phenomenon occurs everywhere where there is no clear justice. In this artwork, I have chosen nine absurd statements. Each of these surreal moments is a metaphor of how truths and lies are at the heart of our life under dictatorships. Because I am a filmmaker, I wanted to showcase the feelings that arise when I hear each of those absurd statements. Each feeling is represented by black, white, and grey lines, which visually metaphorize our unclear truths, facts, feelings, and our inner voice. The precise camera movement, character movements, and the location define the different experiences of the scenes.

While you are persuasively dancing on stage, the music conductor suddenly howls and you suddenly turn into a werewolf
The photo studio says they will not print your portrait.
Your voice get a little too loud while you secretly chant spells under the fluorescent lights to become invisible within the crowd.
The strings on your body are a little wet.
The strings on your body are a little wet.
At the dinner table, you are the only food.
