Ann Arbor Film Festival 2009

Serving as the second piece in a three-part cycle exploring the unperceivable conditions that frame life, in this film the same protagonist encounters an antagonist that is studying her, measuring her body and comparing her to units of space and time. Clocks rush and her movements are calculated on a grid: the eye is observed augmented through lenses; under water her breath is submitted to a resistance rate; needles are use to quantify her reactions and pain: and storing machines capture voice and motion. For the scientist measurement is understanding. At the operation table she opened a small vivisection in the patient body. With a flower stigma she proceeds to pollinate her, giving to nectar and blood the same flow.
