Visio Cordis with Sophie Hamacher (Filmmaker), Cardiologist

Tracing medical imaging as both subject and provocation, this film explores how observational systems shape the interpretation of care and rupture. It centers on Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, or broken-heart syndrome, a condition triggered by stress that causes the heart to balloon into an unfamiliar form. The film questions what is obscured when biological experience passes through technology and what poetic intervention reveals about seeing and feeling.
