Stage 3 explores the four mechanisms of Traumarbeit, a psychoanalytic concept.
The first mechanism draws from our memory and subconscious, intertwining objects, locations, and characters. The second assigns emotional significance to these elements, often distorting them. Next, the third mechanism weaves these elements into fragmented images. Finally, the fourth mechanism imbues these images with motive and meaning.
In Stage 3, disjointed triptychs unfold, with characters and locations appearing and disappearing amidst subtle variations. The footage jumps between perspectives, sometimes synchronized, sometimes erratic. This installation challenges viewers to piece together narratives from the puzzle presented, inviting them to engage with the final mechanism of interpretation.
