I’ve just finished editing
my new film PATIENT ZERO.
The history of its
formation, however, is very long.
I took the first photos in 2015, two subsequent sessions in intervals of a few months in 2016. Ultimately, I planned to make two separate films. I kept finding/receiving new props and costumes. First the leather harness by Rapture of Senses, then the Crepyyeha underwear. On the one hand, they became a challenge to find an interesting project in which they could be used. On the other hand, they perfectly complemented our collection of orthoses and corsets. For a year, however, there were too many projects and commitments to return to work on this film.

In total, the movie
consists of three sequences recorded at different times. There is no classic,
linear narrative. Formally, it resembles works from the POSSESSIONS cycle.
Due to the use of old
medical items, the film itself aesthetically refers to documentary records made
during medical experiments. It's a kind of loose notebook, during which the characters
of patients and nurses become fluid.
I"m returning to the concept of a narrative loop, but this applies only to the situation the characters are being subjected to, not to the whole story.
