Confusion Is Next

A visual and thematic exploration of the idea of 'mental time travel', shifting between documentary and fiction, between remembering the past and simulating the future. The film acts as a structural model through loops, repetitions and layering – until a completely new structure is created. The focal point of this structure is the portrayal of Thai noise musician Thom Assajan-Jakgawan (known as Thom AJ Madson). Thom decided to impose solitary confinement on himself in a small room – a form of hibernation – and meditate on an experiment to give a sound to a plumeria tree.
