VOID VISION is an abstract science-fiction short in which the real and the simulated are equally constructions; a space where doubles, twins, duplicates, re-creations and copies blend into one another.

VOID VISION presents a consideration and re-consideration of a reality; a cold fever-dream of paranoia and reification.
