‘A Journey Into Zero Space’ is a triptych at the border between autobiographical fiction and experimental film essay, investigating and re-living archives of the past by reflecting on them and on current events. Montage and self-projection are employed to question the notions of authority, history, imagination and home. The triptych includes the three chapters: No King’s Day (2017), Dear Bob Dear Baba (2016) and Me Montage (2016).
