Púrpura
This short documentary is an experiment in camera movement, image texture, and composition, embracing error and the digital artifacts that emerge from it. It is a search for gender expression within two bodies—euphoric and dysphoric—as they pierce each other in an attempt to extract the identities that belong to them. A metamorphosis takes place, leaving fragments of Stá and Nix suspended in a conscious vortex within the city of Lisbon.
