zrouh.3 is an experimental short film brought to life through the collaboration of artist Eva Balayan and filmmaker Harry Kemp.
“I stuck my head in a plastic bag. Sitting by the window I could see through the structure how cars move along the street, people walk and rain drips. With each inhalation and exhalation the picture in my eyes deformed differently. Ordinary forms became unusual, obscure. Then I saw a form that put me in a hollow trance. It had eyes and they stared into mine. In this strange form I sensed emotion. I was delighted watching it, its movements and transformation. It smiled at me and I got scared. I removed the bag. Breathing has become easier.”
