Stills from video



The title is an invented Greek word composed by:
a - prefix negative: dont, without
pha (n) - talk (to appear, show)
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 talks as a widow, a wife and a daughter about a disappeared object of her affection and the need to define herself facing that empty place.
