Mare Šuljak

The voices of a woman and a girl narrate/sing mantras about female heritage, travelling far, chores, household appliances and made up characters such as the sad galloping mare, a Baba Yaga, dirty socks on their psychedelic voyages, a house on a suitcase, etc.

Images that take the viewer to the sea, before dark.

I walk through empty corridors and dance with the light. I erase myself from every frame and meet all versions of myself. Evanescence is a reflection on death and transience from the point of view of a person remaining behind. It is a film about the search for identity in an ever-changing world, whose future itself is increasingly uncertain. The death enforces the awareness of the inexorable nature of transience. Enfolded by space that is in a state of constant flux, endlessly emerging and disappearing, the author too fluctuates with it.
