NRA desaturated image of Edvard Munch’s painting Der Schrei der Natur (The Scream of Nature) is overlaid with several monochromatic images of landscapes and seascapes. The film uses an original soundtrack employing a discordance between sound and images to explore the incongruity between the auditory and visual sensory modalities. The soundtrack in the film is a constant distraction in terms of visual perception and vice versa, i.e, the images in the film are a constant distraction in terms of auditory perception.

The film is a personal documentary that represents a constellation of past time and suspended time while attempting to explore the Foucauldian phrase 'a placeless place'.

The broken gravity tries to keep you on the floor. What is bizarre when dimensions are overleaping? While directions are directionless, What is down is up, and right could be left; Don't mis-step, you'll fall into the portal, After all we don't know if you are entering or exiting.
