Zone Card: a statement
‘In 2012 a stranger on a train did not ignore my unusual behaviour. Instead of being uncomfortable and choosing to ignore it they sought help and saved my life.
‘Zone Card’ offers an insight to epilepsy in the form of ‘absence seizures’, portraying breakdown in communicate between subject and other. This film short acts furthermore as a tribute to that unknown passenger who bore witness and then reported. S.T
