EXPERIMENTAL

A montage documenting life during the first few months of the COVID-19 Lockdown in London, UK. With barren streets and a general uneasiness, nothing was certain during this time and the city was transformed into a sight not seen before. Music: 'Corona' by Chris Sanson www.soundcloud.com/chrissanson Photographed with a DSLR that's close to 20 years old!! The camera held up well with the number of images taken, and quite the challenge to use a stills camera to make a video. Around 6000 photographs were taken in total, with around 1000 photographs being used in the final piece.

We live in a disconnected world. Our modern fast-paced consumer society is a result of a great disconnection. A disconnection and separateness between humans and nature has led to the misuse of the planet, and our place on earth. There is a collective need for change. Through a performance-based, interdisciplinary design practice working with contemporary dancers and developing up-cycled garments for movement, the short film reflects on human-nature disconnect, identity and the human soul’s place in our modern consumer society. It is a message of unity and the idea that there is life beyond the conditioning cultural norms and values of our society.
