Autobiography of my diabetes

Sinossi

Cosa si nasconde sotto questo mix di videocassette trasferite da filmati domestici di famiglia e film body horror della mia infanzia che ora ingombrano il desktop del mio computer? In parte trattato medico, in parte auto-anamnesi, e un mashup tinto di nostalgia, questo video saggio rivendica le immagini che emanano dallo schermo del mio computer per lo sguardo di un diabetico.

Nota del regista


The age-old, seemingly inexorable process whereby diseases acquire meanings (by coming to stand for the deepest fears) and inflict stigma is always worth challenging, and it does seem to have more limited credibility in the modern world, among people willing to be modern – the process is under surveillance now. […] But the metaphors cannot be distanced just by abstaining from them. They have to be exposed, criticized, belabored, used up.
― Susan Sontag, Illness as Metaphor & AIDS and Its Metaphors
