Trespass

The camera, in a single continuous shot, moves through a great variety of landscapes and interiors, while remaining the steady observer and companion of the male character whose body is the film’s one constant feature and a monad of sorts. The man, though he moves outside these ever-changing, unstable spaces and their axes of time, is at the same time inside and yet somehow separated or liberated from them. The only recurring location is a room, which in the beginning had grown out of a white wall, in which the man, naked at first, is gradually clothed and given an environment. Isolated by virtue of being out of time, he goes about his daily routine, taking no notice of his surroundings. This has the effect of inverting his body’s relation to time and space, as we see time and space are now following his movements, instead of the movements being constrained by them, as is usually the case. The reinterpretation of this relation is reinforced when the man sees his own corpse and the sight distances him even further from the logic of the space-time continuum.
