In an abandoned bunker, shadows are living and moving. Who knows if it's a dream or they're really there. "Paper Whispers" is a video installation implying different ways of shadowing with light and paper. Each shadow figure, embodies resilience, transcending the boundaries of fragility and imperfection. Video and Music: Ghazale Moqanaki

The video was made for a collaborative festival between University of Tehran and University of Freiburg. In Bakhtak's (hag’s) conflict with the puppet, both are not in a good condition. Both are dissatisfied with the new situation. When this conflict turns into fatigue, they look for a solution to end this conflict. But the reality is that experience cannot be erased and always stays with them. Both have changed and metamorphed to new creatures at the end of the story.
