Face to Face explores the latent tensions between distance, contact, the body, nature, and different perceptions of space. The film is fragmented and revealed through repeated horizontal and vertical movements at different speeds using masks in front of the camera. A choreography that reveals the invisible between bodies, layers, and masks.

Shot on a single street, this film observes how the buildings are repeated until they build up a common shape made of light and surfaces. It explores the way we see the everyday, how depth flattens and the image becomes a space where one’s gaze falls. This is a study on perception and the minimum distance separating what is there from what we can see.
