A girl reads a book titled “The Anatomy of Feelings” in a room floating on the sea.

Directed by Japanese filmmaker Ryo Orikasa, this animated short was inspired by Henri Michaux’s book of poetry and drawings of the same name, about his experiences with mescaline. The film explores the limits of language and perception, creating connections between sound, meaning, shapes and movement.

Eyes are magical spheres that make up dreams and retain memories. In our eyes, the visions of the within and of the beyond overlap. New worlds come to be when our gazes meet.

Get lost in your thoughts. It appears in the form of plants. This questions the possibility of true dialogue with oneself.
