Synopsis

According to Tibetan tradition, Bardo is the state of existence after death before the next birth. In the eponymous film, director Viera Čákanyová visualizes the experience of being in darkness, where one can experience the continuous morphing of matter into surprising forms. This journey includes the consciousness of living and non-living entities. Neural network-generated images, crafted into subtle animation, depict transformations into a giant sequoia, the Earth’s core, ortheeyeofahurricane.
