This collaborative video artwork by Femzor and KÖI, created during the SEED X Bosque Gracias Artistic Residency in São Paulo, digs into the unsettling intersection of appearance and intention. The figures, shrouded in disturbing personas, navigate a landscape where the boundaries between the familiar and the uncanny blur. The piece operates within the tension of appearances, where the mask of the ordinary is stretched to reveal something far more disconcerting.
The visual dissonance, accentuated by fragmented edits, mirrors the instability of perception itself. It evokes the sense of something just beyond comprehension, a lurking unease that is felt but not seen. The work explores the idea of secrecy not as a plot device, but as an existential condition, a reflection on the hidden currents that underlie human interactions and the realization that some truths are meant to remain obscured.
