A monkey paces inside a cage: visually, the short film confines itself to this stark simplicity, yet its message resonates deeply. It draws on whispered excerpts from Goffman’s seminal Asylums on total institutions, paired with a poignant citation from Poe. In the spirit of post-'68 thought, closed and segregated spaces take center stage in the social and cultural discourse, and this film embodies that reflection with radical intensity.
