Overview

Sehnsucht is a German noun translated as “longing”, “yearning”, or “craving”, or in a wider sense a type of “intensely missing”. However, Sehnsucht is difficult to translate adequately and describes a deep emotional state. A dead zebra lies on a black and white checkered floor and appears to breathe. Seen from four different angles the decomposition of the zebra is filmed in stop-motion until nothing remains but an empty skin.
