Synopsis

The projection of a ceramic plate being struck by a stone captures a moment that is both sudden and endlessly prolonged. Filmed in extreme slow motion, the impact transforms an instantaneous act of violence into a carefully observable process. Rather than documenting destruction, the video exposes the precise moment when a familiar object irreversibly loses its function, identity, and integrity.

Narrative

The ceramic plate—an ordinary domestic object associated with routine, care, and shared meals—becomes a metaphor for the fragile structures that sustain the idea of home. The stone arrives as an external force, indifferent to sentiment or memory. Once released, neither object can alter the outcome. The collision unfolds with a quiet inevitability, suggesting that the collapse of home rarely appears as a single dramatic event but as a process whose consequences continue to unfold long after the initial impact.
