ALEPH

Croatia, 2023, 7 min.

Aleph represents a unique point through which we can see all events in space and time. It depicts the spot from which one can see every event on this planet. The protagonist entangles in a world of simultaneous events. Passing through Aleph’s portals, he experiences humanity’s sufferings. The accent is on continuous metamorphoses, as well as the atmosphere of anxiety complemented by noises from radio and TV sources, screams, growls… His character has constantly been changing, unable to find intense incorporation. Ultimately, the protagonist assumes the identity of Aleph.
