Room 174
From the director’s digital archive of sleepless nights emerges a creature-film: nocturnal fragments in her room are observed, replicated, and altered by AI. In a flow of oxidized images and suspended visions, a rarefied dialogue unfolds between woman and machine. A confrontation at the threshold between presence and absence, human and artificial, where reality shatters and identity dissolves. A hypnagogic journey into the depths of a thought shared between one who was programmed to exist and one who is no longer certain of doing so.
