Synopsis
A documentary multichannel audio-visual installation on the phenomenon of “evaporation“ in Japan dealing with the subject of people who abandon their lives and disappear without a trace. While depicting a universal narrative about the desires, aspirations, and fears that we all share the work focuses both on those who “evaporate“ and those who are left behind.
