ANGELA  

ANGELA (a strange loop) takes the life of one woman and follows her from birth to death and beyond. We accompany ANGELA in everyday situations and follow her life through sickness and healing, waking and sleeping, being born and giving birth, aging and dying. The question arises: what makes ANGELA into ANGELA? ANGELA is built up of millions of experiences. Some of it is of direct feedback of what people tell her. Basically ANGELA is a strange loop.

ANGELA (a strange loop) is an exploration into identity, consciousness and phenomenology. Through ANGELA we ask the fundamental questions of existence: What is the nature of reality and what am "I"?
