Hekate rising

16 mm 2K scan transfer, sound, 13 min, 2018

In a pine forest loaded with mushrooms an encounter with the godess Hekate emerges. In a moonlit bed inspired by the moon scene in Les Amants by Louis Malle the meaning of a woman ́s beauty is transformed. The only actor in the film is asleep, dreamed of, outdoors on a dreamy meadow. In an image-driven tribute to analogue film, poetry and psychedlia the Godess Hekate is evoked. A psychedelic love story about eternal love originating from a feminine and prehistoric power.
The voice in the film utilizes desire and ASMR-technic (autonomous sensory meridian response), a seductiveness normally described as female, which is mostly allowed to exist and express itself in relation to a traditional cis male desire. Instead of giving pleasure on request the voice expresses its erotic power to invoke the Godess Hekate.
