Perdue — I. The Lost One
The search for the self becomes the search for another. A monologue in nine images, ending in a stairwell.
Reza Tajiki
Six short films, photographed states and texts that follow the same search. The frame is the first actor — format follows the gaze.

The search for the self becomes the search for another. A monologue in nine images, ending in a stairwell.

Architecture built for remembering — colonnades, fountains, a water grotto. Shadow as the figure’s imprint.

Urban noir: a way home that is a suppression. A time-lapse moon, a violet dissolve, a turn in the text.

A visual essay on memory and hard reality — on the good and bad feelings that stay. The only direct eye contact in the whole œuvre: the woman with the mask on the moving train.

Lake and factory in alternating montage, then ninety uncut seconds. Kafka’s Metamorphosis.

The camera as an emotional body: movement that twists orientation and tips the room over.
