Description

Once, after being interrogated at the border, I saw a long fence through the car window. It was tinkling in the wind, overgrown with ruderal plants. That charged image was a manifestation not only of oppression but of resistance and desire. ||||||||/__ | is a lengthy passage that captures the liminal conditions of the exiled body. In emigration and exile, determination is juxtaposed with vulnerability: one must constantly break down barriers, including those of one's own body. The film employs various visual and sound techniques and performative gestures that sensitize surfaces, boundaries, media, and spaces.
