“Some images: dust, weariness, stones floating to the surface. I couldn’t sleep, so I went down to the birds. It was then that I realized: I was living in the double. Two moons become two eyelids that close. I don’t have much left to say. The stains suddenly turned into swans on dark water. I’ll never forget that. I still had a milk tooth left well into my teenage years. What else has happened? I wanted to tell you about the house, but I can’t remember the proportions. I wanted to tell you about the siblings, but I’ve read too many fairytales. Swan by day, human only by night. Eyes blurry with cataracts, pupils tear-shaped. I wanted to clean here, but the vacuum cleaner was broken.”

A chroma key blue screen is placed by a river. A flashlight searches over the bushes, and insects follow the light. When the screen is illuminated, it is keyed out, and an animation of shadows is contrasted against a video of nocturnal moths around an light bulb.
