Commissioned by Muzeum Sztuki, the project translates Władysław Strzemiński's book Theory of Seeing (1958) into moving images, testing his premise that seeing is not an unchangeable ability but a process shaped by history and social conditions. Each episode offers a contemporary interpretation of Strzemiński's thought, from museum conservation and the memory of the Holocaust to the optics of war, artificial intelligence, and the attention economy.

Jansa's film follows an aging performer who has spent his life embodying the beloved Czechoslovak Little Mole and retreats underground as an unlocatable sound disturbs his refuge, asking whether silence is a failure to act or a form of resistance.
