Private Project

Tourist

A nameless literary magazine book reviewer makes a random decision to leave his home and job and travel to another city, where he gets a job at the Undeliverable Mail Office. As time goes by he becomes increasingly disconnected from reality and experiences depersonalization and dissociation.

Director Statement

My work explores questions of identity: How do we know who we are? What are the limits of one’s identity? What are the limits of a delusion? Is it possible to escape from oneself? Is it possible to fail at being oneself? My characters often feel they are in control of their lives only to find out that they might not be who they thought they were, or that the world might not conform to their beliefs and expectations.
