Gift of Alan and Charlotte Artus

A butterfly is symbolic of the soul or spirit and with its metamorphosis, the passage from life to death and resurrection. In their film Kokoro, set to Bernard Herrmann’s Vertigo, Zatorski + Zatorski present us with a surreal micro-drama played out by two butterflies using the female belly button as the setting. The film touches on the complexities of relationships: are the protagonists lovers or rivals?
