A film exploring the affective space, sensations and memories of trauma within the PIDE headquarters (the Portuguese SS interrogation and torture centre of the Salazar fascist dictatorship in Portugal from 1926-1974). In my work I use photochemical / mechanical resources to explore different material temporalities embedded in the film emulsion, revealing invisible emotional and psychic landscapes of family memory, political oppression, and the uncanny.
