Im Sog - Hikikomori
Impressionen in 7 Bildern

The young man H lives a reclusive life in his room; he has moved back in with his mother. His mother, Kiki, tries in various ways to reach her son. H tries to communicate in his own way.  

​

In seven images, we accompany Kiki, H, and his fantastic alter ego Jack on a poetic journey, caught in the current.  

What happens when a person voluntarily disappears: from the noise of the city, from the family, from work, from the pressure, from the conversations, from the public eye, from the speed of the crowd?  

​

In Japanese, people who completely withdraw from society are called Hikikomori. The same term is used for the phenomenon, which can be observed worldwide.
