Nine Stanzas on the Individual as a Collective Organism

Overview

Nine Stanzas on the Individual as a Collective Organism is an avant-garde documentary inspired by the work of Chantal Akerman which aims to explore the monotony of the obligatory daily activities people engage in, as well as the contrast between the personal experiences individuals go though in the moment and the way in which, when viewed from an outside perspective, those same unique individuals are subsumed into a larger, indistinct mass stripped of any and all identity other than that of a single part of a larger student body; hundreds of stray ligaments desperately fighting for a distinct presence in an environment of abject conformity.
