This piece examines hurtful relationship where the insecurity of one of the partners is transformed into an aggression towards the other one. It explares what happens when partners cannot remove themselves from the relation despite the destructive traits.

Contemporary relationships are beaurocratic by their very nature. They deal with onlie signatures, telemetric authentications, browser updates, java scripts, bank authorisations – a beaurocrativ slavery. But there is even more lethal way than bureaucracy in which the relationship between the individual and the state is distorted: negligence, carelessness. This video was made on 16th of January 2020 coinciding with the Chinese New Year and the first outbreak of Covid-19 in Wuhan (China) and could serve as an illustration of said negligence. This video attempts to relate the cruelty inherent in this process.
