“object/loss” addresses themes of physical loss, memory, sexual identity and the didactic divides that shape the fabric of our social existence. Ghostly images collide and fragment as traces of memory resurface and disappear. The title refers to the work of Julia Kristeva on the melancholy/depressive position which occurs through object loss, and the contingent aggression towards the lost object. At the same time the film attempts to examine the consumption of the male figure and its objectification from a feminine heterosexual position.
