A quasi-two-dimensional grey space, with minimalist markings that demarcate the floor and a door, is inhabited by colourful, skeletal figures made of hinged wooden slats and polystyrene heads.

synopsis

En

Pasta Fatal, originally a brand of rat poison, reflects a recurring theme in the work of de Gruyter & Thys: an obsessive fascination with the morphology of depression and the inevitable downfall of mankind. Extended close-ups of despairing, diabolical and catatonic faces induce a trance-like state, where the actors gradually transform into sculptures within the film. The subject ultimately becomes an object, or vice versa.
