For Those Who Pull Their Own Teeth

The film follows the relationship between an artist and a camera that can no longer record images. This “eye,” which now refuses to see, evolves from a recording tool into an object of memory. As it breaks down, technical failures increasingly produce fractures, distortions, and glitches in the captured imagery. Moving away from representing reality, the image becomes a surface with its own internal logic. As the machine nears its final moments, visuals tear, fragment, and warp; the film reveals how the camera, through its malfunctions, creates its own distinct aesthetic.
