Ghosts, psychaedelism, and drifting. A phantasmagoric film capturing a mysterious ritual washing by night. As the splashing gesture is repeated, water begins turning darker and darker. Through hypnotic movements, the film changes through the form of rhythmic fluidity. Almost like in some acid trip, once the water becomes unrecognisable do we then see this transformation of the body and self fading into the night and thus becoming invisible to the viewer.
