Viewers, who can enter the room one at a time, are faced with a countdown. The words above the scrolling digits invite you to wait for the start of the next screening. At 00:00, after four seconds that echo the first frames of the film, a new three-minute countdown begins. This video is a reflection on time that invites us to look at and define time itself. It is the absence of an unnecessary film that shines a spotlight on the time of lived life. Other viewers,waiting outside the room, can pick up one of the film's brochures in order to read it while waiting. On the right side of the brochure are instructions to follow as you leave the room, interacting with the curtain and being the protagonist of the work.
