This film explores how a mottephobic* lepidopterist might use a placebo to deal with his obsession of lepidopterans and his irrational fear of dusty moths.

The purpose of this project is to explore a way of designing that acknowledges peoples’ complicated pleasures and irrationality and to go beyond simplistic design characterisations of people as ‘users’ and ‘consumers’.

*To have an irrational fear of moths
