What affects me most powerfully: mourning in layers – a kind of sclerosis. Roland Barthes, Mourning Diary Inspired by Roland Barthes’ Mourning Diary, the film attempts to measure grief and consciousness in the pandemic through images and monthly recorded notes. The images were recorded entirely in the summer of 2020, while the text stacks together several years. The simple naming and showing of events exposes the banality of grief, but hopefully also the significance.

"I can't believe that I have to start every day from a state so feverish, full of intentions, even before doing anything." Fragments of a performer's body and movements that comes from an interior state of feeling: indistinct state of langor before standing up, before dancing, before going on stage...
