More About the Film
Pain is slowed down in slow motion up to the sensitivity threshold and is sold as an everyday anesthetic. We browse through ready-made catalogues of horror, instructions for use, we order attractive ideas-images; we wish to leave our bodies and become that image for a change. Watching a film, we forget about ourselves pretending not to be interested in the content; in fact, we are interested in the hypnotising, pulsating light, which is when we discover our magical and tribal conscience and repressed fear of life. (Dalibor Barić)
Dalibor Barić (1974) is a multimedia artist. He lives and works in Zagreb. He makes short animated and experimental films, music videos, festival trailers, installations, graphic novels, drawings and cut-outs. He is also a music composer and VJ performer.
