Book tickets

Moving through the house, a repertoire of repetitive actions unfolds—everyday life captured as both a self-portrait and a portrait of a place. A poetic exploration of domestic space, solitude, and daily rituals, these films capture the tension between repetition and rupture, where ordinary spaces become sites of both freedom and entrapment. Akerman dissects the rhythms of alienation, exile, and self-imposed confinement, revealing the fragile balance between presence and absence.
