“The case OGAMI“ presents a fictitious UFO-logical case report about three so-called ‟entities“, who manifest on earth in the shape of human beings. After the discovery of TV-imagery, the new aliens get absorbed into the imaginary of sexual and violent symbolism and repeat it. A voice-over analyses movements and actions of the three humanoid being in pseudo-scientific language. The story is told with archive footage from the 50s, ranging from atomic bomb tests to educational films. The entities and their communicative development up to the ‟human trap“ turn into an ironic metaphor for humankind.
