Composed of five chapters, this essay film uses narration and juxtaposition to layer reflection of bodies in mirror, glass, and water inside an examination room. This work focuses on the objectification of a body as a private space through its manifestation as an image, and the alienation from its image.
Some women suffer from unnamed diseases outside the medical system. Healthcare technology makes the body visible, but reading something from visual data is not always possible. Nameless Syndrome focuses on the time when language is needed and asking questions about visualization. From a mother¡¯s experience with an undiagnosed illness, the sentences gathered by listening to women¡¯s stories invite us to listen as the body images gather somewhere. [LEE Sang-hee]
