Stills from video



The title is an invented Greek word composed by a - prefix negative: dont, without; pha (n) - talk (to appear, show); and ousia - essence, substance

Video made by recomposing audio quotes from different movies. A single actress embodies different voices into a unique body. From three different points of view, the same actress speaks as a widow, a wife, and a daughter about a lost object of her affection.
