A gradual loss of sight sharpens the senses and sows confusion, as the experimental memoir by the Swiss visual artist Yannick Mosimann oscillates somewhere between the joy of discovering the deeper layers of vision and the fear of where this exploration might eventually lead. This is the risk of transgression. Anxiety is growing. The world seen through weakening eyes gains in intensity, but is also populated by demons slipping in unnoticed.

Warning for people with epilepsy. The film contains strobe lights, light flashes, quick editing.
