The film explores the spatial dimensions of a being who alternately enters and exits a fragmented world of projections where thoughts, memories and dreams blend into a strange loop of treacherous images. The film explores multiple layers of in-ness such as inclusion, depiction and representation.
Through episodes that display a high degree of idiosyncrasy, we follow a stranger who creates his own inverse reality and an imaginary order which serves to stress his inexistence elsewhere. The film is a personal documentary that represents a constellation of past time and suspended time while attempting to explore the Foucauldian phrase 'a placeless place'.
The film explores the syncretic notions, ‘construction’ and ‘intuition’.
A flight lands in Teal City. A man is trapped in a frame. A wave of verticals hit the city.
A countdown to non-film. A man humming. An image of a self drowning oneself. Windows.
The night train is right on track and the journey is slightly marred by an array of lights.
A desaturated image of Edvard Munch’s painting Der Schrei der Natur (The Scream of Nature) is overlaid with several monochromatic images of landscapes and seascapes. The film uses an original soundtrack employing a discordance between sound and images to explore the incongruity between the auditory and visual sensory modalities. The soundtrack in the film is a constant distraction in terms of visual perception and vice versa, i.e, the images in the film are a constant distraction in terms of auditory perception.
The miniature plant pot, the mother, the son and the dusty ceiling fan. Unmasking is poetry is self .Thoughts Out Of Season is a contemplation of loss and grief as much as it is a search for identity and peace. The film concerns the transformation of an eternally wandering soul and his fragmented understanding of home and motherhood.
