“In the land of technology, the spectacle of immediate reality has been transformed into an unobtainable blue flower” – W. Benjamin’s phrase guides and haunts Albert García-Alzórriz in his rigorous dissection of the relationship between medicine and image. With a precise gaze and meticulous composition, the director offers three variations to think about the relationships between the human body, medical technology and aesthetic representation. The camera crosses the aseptic space of the hospital and reveals a disturbing contiguity between the gazes of machines and those of humans, the gestures of surgeons and those of robots. This film is a fascinating and questioning dive into the world of medical technology, which seems to cancel the distance between the body and its representation.
