Bödös Pocak
or the many lives of the gömböc

experimental video (color and black-and-white), with Hungarian dubbing and English subtitles, 27'16 

Bödös Pocak, or the many lives of the gömböc is a contemporary fable inspired by a Hungarian folktale—a mockumentary where the observer and the observed are trapped in the same body, haunting each other in an endless cycle of desire and self-destruction. The video explores the nature of greed and helplessness, as well as the underlying ambivalence behind human motivations, through the adaptation of the folktale A kis gömböc (The Little Gömböc).

Inside the Gömböc’s stomach, five souls drift—archetypes whose futile struggles, attempts at escape, and efforts to connect with one another are captured on film by the voracious creature itself, an allegory of greed. Simultaneously a prison and a witness, it feels everything, watches, and records.
