The Atoms of Reality (2020)
SYNOPSIS
It was like a dream, filled with grave perfumes, with limpidity
and sensuous chimes. A misplaced device in a turbid instant
where the mechanisms of humility ring out. A crack obscurely
revealing the entrails of nothingness. The memory of surfaces
hit by translucent instruments. A well where the atoms of reality
loudly dissolve. It was like a dream, filled with grave perfumes.
