Proprietors of Shock

A woman doing her taxes, a man in his kitchen cooking, a figure smoking. Yet, something is beginning to feel out of place.

All three are surrounded by strange contraptions that make their mundane tasks a lot harder to act out. The absurd props in this series represent mannerisms some humans develop after traumatic experiences. They bring to light what is going on inside, whilst making the daily chores of our protagonists ever so slightly harder.

The mannerisms the objects are inspired by were sourced from psychological journals, books, articles, conversations and stories. Throughout the films we will be introduced to them closer.

Trigger warning. Not for sensitive minds.
