ABNEGATION


 

(2008, 18 min.)

“Abnegation is the story of a man who, one day, decides to stop.

He just turns off his inner light and get into himself.

And like a strange illness, this refusal to be in the world will spread contagiously.”

(…)Elias Amari brosse dans « Abnégation » la peinture désolante d’une grande ville, constat oppressant des conséquences de l’aliénation et de l’incommunicabilité où l’apathie reste finalement la seule échappatoire.(…)
