Futuras Coisas is an essay on the collapse of repetition. Between obsession and giving up, a woman inhabits a metallized space where every day is a simulation. She inhabits the fissure between the desire for permanence and the urgency of transformation, in a suspended time where self-sabotage becomes ritual. On the threshold between dreaming and waking, where does giving up come in? How long can you put up with the mechanics of your own body? What's left when everything has been tried?
