Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a pathway of cell destruction or programmed cell death, and it's caused by the same organism. This happens when the cell is no longer needed or is damaged; we can say that the cell recognizes that "its time to die has come" and in this way stabilizes the functioning of the organism in which it habits. Apoptosis is an audiovisual essay about the suicide. This version is based on an interactive installation exhibited at the Centro Multimedia del Centro Nacional de las Artes (Mexico, 2022). Some of the images shown are from several film frames captured from fictional films with the characters removed, leaving only the background. Excerpts from scenes where a suicide is shown on screen.
