In this video, Finnish artist Eija-Liisa Ahtila presented a study based on Aki, a fictional character who experiences a paranoid delusion and decides to embark on the search for the ideal woman whom he imagines is named Anne. The project depicted the increasing lack of perception and isolation of this character.
