A LACK OF CLARITY

Public light rips through the night of a modern city. Sleeplessness is lit up by a computer monitor in an urban space, where day and night are no longer distinguished. In the contemporary surveillance society, digital evolution and social control indelibly mark the urban fabric in which we move. A nocturnal journey through a strongly lit and populated city as a filmmaker reflects upon the increase of new surveillance technologies around him. The film draws a fragmentary connection between Paris at the end of the 17th century and the potential surveillance of the filmmaker’s own dreams.
