Tosio

Short animation by Alina Maliszewska about two lovers trying to kill themselves

What happens when you are left alone with nothing to be remembered for? A man tries to keep his sanity in tact by writing a letter to get help, but keeps getting memories of his fears and what was lost, will he manage to get out alive or he is left to rot with what remains inside with him?

Terra Incognita follows life on a mysterious island, inhabited by immortal beings. These beings lead a pre-civilized life forgotten by time, spending their endless days in hedonistic lethargy.

Each verse, as they get repeated and recited, they fulfil their destiny and later crystallise to become LILITA.AL. It is somewhat similar to how human decompose after death, but it’s more about the spirit －spirit of the syllables- that sublime and skeletonize… A verse may forfeit its life, but the spirit returns home with the wind, and wait for destined rebirth.

In the midst of the frenzy night a man finds himself lost in the crevasse of time. It was not the grotesque beings nor the monsters, but it was he who “was here, but wasn't here”. He was the phantom. Buried under memories full of inhibition and promises that never kept – words washed up on the shore – time keeps him at a distance from the “place”. And he hears poems coming on the waves from the other side rhyming and lapping against the shore. A 360° scope video Installation commissioned by Nagano Art Museum.
