Private Project

Simulacrum

A cinematic dysfunction based on found footage and manipulated lost films that come together to rethink modern society. The perversity of control, power, consumption, compared to images designed to enhance the sensory side, are some of the topics covered. SIMULACRUM evokes chaotic scenarios transposing us to the origin of cinema in a disturbing way.
