Implantation presents three encounters with what I have called "internalized others": a fuck boy in a metro tunnel, a live streamer in a bedroom and a homeless man trapped in a lost future. Characters - phantoms of memory and idiosyncratic translation - who subjugate and assault the film's first-person perspective. Existing as a double bind, Implantation is at once a self-portrait and social critique.

In a time when our lives are increasingly spent on observing, analyzing and interpreting ourselves - as well as tying ourselves to our own identity - Confessions embodies a cognitive dissonance: the overwhelming contradiction of constantly both doubting and affirming oneself. I believe that we by voicing our pains and struggles of subjectification might expose emotional, cognitive and social dissonances, as well as open ourselves up for new understandings and connections. We might even find ways of breaking out of our ceaselessly looping thoughts and inner tyrants. That is at least my hope.
