From mental collages to pop surrealist visions, James and Catherine find themselves surrounded by made-up and transformed bodies serving as grotesque doubles of ghostly idols. A drift between hell and false paradise, between Styx and Riviera. Another man, Bill, explores a jungle haunted by signs, and stumbles upon the ruins of a temple where reality lies buried in the flow of magnetic images. And meanwhile, Phil roams a shopping mall, seeking to uncover the invisible structure that confines the world.
In the tradition of J. G. Ballard, William S. Burroughs and Philip K. Dick, Patrick Bouvet questions the vertigo of our simulated world. Between poetic hallucination, critique of the permanent spectacle and waking dream, one question persists: are we still capable of seeing what is true?
