Shot under extreme conditions and inspired by Mayan creation theory, the film contemplates the illusion of reality and the possibility of capturing for the camera something which is not there. It is about the mirages of nature—and the nature of mirage.

VIBE

A deeply meditative and surreal journey into the nature of perception. It feels like a waking dream, a hypnotic exploration of mirages both natural and existential. Best experienced when you're ready to lose yourself.
