A young woman lives alone in a brilliantly white and cold space where darkness does not exist, until the day when it gradually appears. Both anxious and intrigued by this strange phenomenon which slowly absorbs her world, she feels herself disappearing, losing the boundaries of her own identity. The erasure of the light forces her to challenge the fixity of herself, pushing her into a multiplicity of being(s), a source of strong feelings of pleasure and a feeling of power. Nox is an attempt to understand how darkness opens our doors to perception and introspection. It is an intimate invitation to enter the darkness with pleasure.
