In a world dominated by surveillance systems, we see a character who wakes up not knowing where they are. A mysterious room is filled with seemingly harmless objects that, in fact, conceal surveillance cameras. Through their lenses, we follow the character's every move as they attempt to escape. Clues are scattered throughout the room, and the character has exactly 9 minutes and 59 seconds to piece them together and find a way out.
Selected as part of the Atlantic moving image commission by Contemporânea, this work by biarritzzz explores themes of domination, capture, breakdown, and illusion. Deploying satire and humour, the film embraces the aesthetic of surveillance footage and the pedagogies of memes in both its essence and realisation.
