Experiencing Interruptions?

Studies under mask, light, and blood

Lulled by flickering lights and distorted melodies, a woman wanders in a state of trance. Each gesture, an annulment. Each relief, the next treacherous stumble. In the encounter with her own mask, everything becomes a field of experimentation between desires and agonies, light and blood.
