We are left holding signifiers, detached, asking what they mean and where's the body. The time of interpretation, in between time, before we know what it means, signaling something but what ?
The point of departure for the work were archival photographs found in an old medicine book  dated 1905. It refers to the thought of Derrida who says that bandages signify death. Flag an odd moment, sort of a limbo in between life and death. I decided to remove the body, which emerge as the main - absent actor of the video.
