In the shadow of the voices dominating the classical interview setting with its negotiation of often hot topics, there is a silence. Where the camera does not look, an alternate release takes place to anticipate the spirit of the vis-à-vis. The video piece OSMOSIS compiles rare scenes of the silent counterpart taken from a multitude of actual interview films, where they are usually omitted for the benefit of information density. These concentrated moments of reception reflect an absent voice that seeps into the silent visible organism, transforming him into an 'interior'.
