The film unfolds in a speculative version of our Earth which, for reasons unknown, has become flat. Our main interlocutor is a researcher who appears to have recorded the film five years after the planet’s flattening. Structured in three chapters, the work tests our powers of observation and interpretation.
We are drawn into a contemplative state, continuously challenged to reconsider the physicality of matter and its proportions.
About Mirages and Stolen Stones plays with the viewer’s perception, proposing possibilities, doubts, alternatives, and speculations—reminding us, in the end, that it is we who created the flat Earth.
