Chapter Three : Pacifies a Lier

Chapter Three: Pacifies a Lier is part of an ongoing series of experimental shorts conceived of as a guide for learning pottery-making through hypnotism. The film probes through dark psychological vignettes like Russian nesting dolls. A lecturer is interrupted by a commercial for a prosthetic glove. A scientist conjures a carbon snake. An artist directs protégés in syncopated, rhythmic movements. As ideas appear and reappear in temporal spiraling, perceptual experience and the process of learning become indistinguishable. Material and psychical space collapse and fold through a tattoo parlor, a parapsychology laboratory, and a skylight. You can pick up your work next week.
