Detached Series

Detached is a series of around two minutes artistic videos that share an uncanny atmosphere. In Detached the main characters seem alienated, detached from the repetitive actions they perform . Their stillness and lack of expressiveness creates a severe contrast with the violent physical transformations generated by their actions.
A series of secondary characters, that are never shown entirely, stay in a secondary layer, observing but also triggering the flow of events with their decisions.
Detached makes use of a highly staged mise-en-scène, where the austerity of a minimalistic theatre-like sets coexists with cinematic slow and smooth camera movements. These camera movements are used to prolong the moment, and slowly reveal the ambiguous situations of the loose narratives.
The lack of dialog and music track enhaces the relevance of a rich set of minimal soundscapes recorded on set that are used as a prelude of the expected stream of images.
