The Power of Paralysis

Score for a short performance film by Miloushka Bokma

During the pandemic everyone has experienced the feeling of overflowing emptiness, skin hunger, loneliness, social distance and detachment. How do we deal with things which are beyond our control? How do we deal with the restriction of our freedom? In a symbolic way, Bokma processes feelings that many people experienced during the corona pandemic.

You can see this video work as an artistic vaccine; seeing and experiencing a bit of alienation and detachment makes you produce 'antibodies'. Like Bokma's other videos, The Power of Paralysis is recorded in one take and with a fixed camera position.
