[ENG] A man lives alone inside a closed labyrinth like space which seems to reflect his state of mind.

The windows open into his subconscious to illuminate the desolate and mysterious spectacle of his solitude as if this were the last day of the world, and he the last man able to testify.

"From the darkness to the light of day, from the rubble of the psyche to emptiness, circular movements, concentric circles, an obsession with subjectivity hard on its heels, at the same time rigorous and visionary. Afterwords is a cutting and iconic portrait of a mental space". - Martino Marazzi-

[CAST] Un hombre vive solo dentro de un laberinto cerrado como el espacio el cual parece reflejar su estado de ánimo. Las ventanas se abren en su subconsciente para iluminar el desolado y misterioso espectáculo de su soledad como si fuera el último día del mundo, y él, el último hombre capaz de dar testimonio.

"De la oscuridad a la luz del día, de los escombros de la psique al vacío, movimientos circulares, círculos concéntricos, una obsesión por la subjetividad que es a la vez rigurosa y visionaria. Afterwords es un retrato cortante e icónico de un espacio mental". - Martino Marazzi-

DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT

This work is the result of a meeting between three personalities.
The original idea developed as a kind of "work in progress" meandering among the artists' performances and a suggestive location made upof memories and solitude. The use of small digital cameras and advanced video technology was a necessary choice for an atypical film which tries to show the physical and mental experience of a person, from the perspective of his own interior reality.
