DEHUMANISATION

Shortfilm, 2021

The human body is dehumanized - it is presented as alien, unreal and surreal, abnormal and alienated. The moving image is combined with music that supports the almost painful dissolution of a familiar appearance. In this way, what makes up the figure of a human being is distorted.
He thus appears unfamiliar as a whole, even though every detail can be easily recognized and classified.

The objectification of the human body, especially that of women, is omnipresent. All too often, advertising etc. prescribe how the female body should look and how it should move. The distance from the familiar body opens up a new perspective on it.
