2005, Switzerland/France, video, colour, sound, 19 min. 20 sec.
In the isolation of the Finnish winter landscape, contact is established between two people whose attempts at interaction, at communication, end up reflecting this very isolation, the impossibility of breaking, despite their intimacy, the barriers which maintain the inevitable mutual inaccessibility which separates us from the Other. The snow which erases all possible division between earth, sea, and sky, landscape turned in upon itself, imposing introspection. It is the mirror and the wall of a series of random thoughts, of a vast panoply of mental images, somewhere between peace and madness.
