Miss, This Isn’t About Ants | Esther Dupas | 2024 | 9’43
“Miss, This Isn’t About Ants” addresses the impact of wandering and/or medical violence on patients’ mental health through a video transformed into a five-chapter experimental quest. Exploring sensations of derealization and depersonalization, a curious, anxiety-inducing atmosphere questions the viewer’s relationship to himself, to the world, and to a nervous feeling of constant questioning. In search of the reason for his malaise, the narrator seems to sink little by little into a tormented, almost self-destructive way of thinking.
