Fried Sweat (2008)
In a small, carpeted space reminiscent of an oriental parlor, a dreamlike assembly of odd characters is gathered to perform various seemingly significant acts: a bodybuilder flexes his muscles to produce sweat that drips into a frying pan and quickly evaporates, a body-contortionist bends into an impossible shape only to implode in a cloud of white dust, and a kneeling man simultaneously chops two planks of wood in half with his bare hands.
