A speculative narrative film informed by poetry and theories of quantum entanglement across diasporic distance. An intimate exploration of grief and resistance in shifting landscapes of loss, from the streets to the bed.
An immersive live performance for multiple 16mm film and bass clarinet, taking in the whole gallery, submerging the audience.
