“The truth you seek, Hermit, did not come into this world bare, but came in images.” With this realization, a hermit traveling through India, suspended between meditation on Mount Arunachala in Tiruvannamalai and a trip to the temples of Mahabalipuram, reflects on the sense of images in the earthly dimension and, therefore, on the final meaning of his own spiritual pursuit.

What does resistance mean? An intimate written and visual archive weaves different relationships with this word through the seasons, evoking a fluid and palpitating plurality, where personal videos alternate with writing on walls, transfeminist demonstrations, and protests in support for Palestine. A cry of rage and joy that positions itself in a resistant stream of history while questioning it.
