It cannot be contained, 2023. Längd: 32 min. (Filmform)
Throughout history, blood has had great concrete and symbolic meaning. Blood pulses through myths, religion, literature, art and science, and is constantly given new meanings and interpretations. Blood is both a life-giving serum, a commodity, a symbol, and a chemical substance, that together shape and contain the human body. "It Cannot be Contained" seeks to visualize a leaking ephemeral subject, that posits the body as everything but a self-contained autonomous entity. The film interweaves both mythical, historical, political, and scientific stories on blood into a poetic-documentary meditation on this substance and its magical and concrete connotations.
