Internal Truth. Silicon + foam filling of Platonic plaster cube
[fade in] A still-frame captures a pendulant mass swinging at the rhythm of chirping metals. A moment of potential energy. [Undefined], could be an instant away from release, collapse. Might be seconds before a successful coupling. [close up] SUBJECTED BODY Zooming on this landscape of metals and plastics, a body is being taken by a surrounding network of bending wires. A species of tethering machine composed of simple mechanisms of control: levers, spirals, inclined planes and wedges. An apparatus measuring, separating and at the same time unifying and reassembling. [wide shot] HIATUS The apparatus tries to couple while dismembering, dissecting the subjected body. Simultaneously a space, a Hiatus is emerging. [fade out] The body oscillates in a state of suspension, a zone of indifference. In that caesura, a Bare Life is emerging as the centre and fundament of the system.
