... if I am a disease, will you still reach for me? Or will you reach out there, beyond horizons,

to beings cosmic...?

Maebashi, Japan, 1993. A dialogue between a man, covered in blood and clear wrapped, and a monitor that played a ventriloquist doll (Ken, a doll used to teach safety rules to school children in Japan). The subject was our contemporary fear of contact and relationship in the age of AIDS.

15 minutes.
