Liza Lentini The Euthanasist
The Euthanasist explores the nature of care giving, devotion and losing one's self in a self-imposed torture of the day to day. Through her diarized testimonial, alongside multi-channeled images, the landscape of one woman's rationale is revealed as she questions her relationship to living and others' desire to die.
