Surgery is the new sex, 18th-century style. In David Cronenberg’s wry, surrealist miniature, four anatomical female wax models—taken from the collection of Florence’s 250-year-old science museum La Specola—lie in uncanny repose as the camera dreamily caresses their detachable organs, exposed body cavities, and glossy ceroplastic flesh. Under the director’s inimitable gaze, objects created as pedagogical tools take on an impassioned agency, contorting in perpetual agony and ecstasy.

《洞穴寓言》中，柏拉图思考：如果其中一名囚犯挣脱枷锁，逃离洞穴会发生什么？如果那个囚犯是一个名叫杰伊的7岁小男孩呢？

一座城市的日常活动背后隐藏着什么？去年冬天，我们在巴黎相遇，开始讨论柏拉图《理想国》中所述的《洞穴寓言》。这个寓言讲述了人类被束缚在枷锁中，背对洞穴，看着墙上的影子移动，以为那就是现实。我们都以图像为工作对象，图像当然可以是幻觉，但也可以成为思想斗争和解放的工具。因此，从这次讨论中，我们决定制作一部短片。我们有一些固定的想法——洞穴、舞蹈、我们周围熙熙攘攘的城市——以及一个问题：如果我们所有人都能一起转向洞穴的出口会发生什么？也许仅仅断言图像是幻觉并不足以打破束缚我们的枷锁。
