GASPER / 2015
Filmed in a seedy apartment with a VHS camera, Martin Bladh and Karolina Urbaniak’s 55-minute feature starring Joseph Simpson-Bushell is a disturbing exploration of the dissociative mind. The still controversial 'multiple personality disorder' is used as a torturous means to unfold one man’s personal apocalypse. Triggered by the shocking video diaries of the ‘Bjork Stalker’ Ricardo Lopez, Gasper tells the story of a man split into five different personalities and their complex relationship with each other.
