Synopsis:
Bardo is an immersion into darkness, where material forms constantly transform and perspective shifts beyond human perception, offering a therapeutic journey of rebirth in the void. Inspired by Bardo, the Tibetan name for the liminal state between death and rebirth, Viera Čákanyová embarks on an introspective journey into darkness through generative animation, setting matter and thoughts into motion.
