SISYPHOS is a triptych short film that explores the COVID-19 lockdown’s silence. The themes of waiting and the absurdity of existence are explored through characters endlessly repeating the same gestures, while sounds and images overlap, blurring the boundaries between past, present, and future. These events trigger a strange metamorphosis. Inspired by Camus’ “We must imagine Sisyphus happy”, Voges asks: where does freedom begin when repetition becomes mere habit? This reflection on a significant period reveals how beauty can emerge from repetition. Kay Voges was inspired by Albert Camus, who wrote, “We must imagine Sisyphus happy.” SISYPHOS can be presented either as an infinite loop or as a short film.
