Dark Waves Ondes Noires

They suffer from electromagnetic hypersensitivity. Their bodies react to the waves emitted by cameras, microphones, screens. The very act of filming is the thing that hurts them. They are people who cannot be filmed.

Dark Waves does not attempt to illustrate their condition. Instead, it invents a visual apparatus that makes the viewer feel what the characters describe: the invisible smog of electromagnetic fields that saturates our connected world. The images bleed, dissolve, corrupt themselves. The sound carries the weight of what waves do to a body. The film does not capture reality; it reinvents a form to film the invisible.

This was the starting point of what would later become a broader practice: when the subject cannot be filmed by conventional means, the impossibility itself becomes generative. The form must be invented because the reality demands it.
