TO SH*T SOMEONE ELSE'S SH*T

synopsis

The human being as a metabolic process: the human entrails take centre stage in a video essay that examines the digestive tract through the lens of contemporary philosophy and art theory. Named after a phrase that spontaneously emerged during a retreat of the CÉN choir, the film explores questions of how we relate to tradition and to a past we have not experienced ourselves, yet which continues to shape us.

“If tradition consists of honoring the past and keeping it alive, never letting it die.”
