Embrace The Melting Times

fictional story and video | 9'22'' | 2020

The video work presents a short story that is partly autobiographical and partly fictional. It is a first-person narrative of the experience of a liquid, amorphous and ever-changing body. A body that is not only subject to its changing emotional state, which dictates its structure, but also to the difficulties of coping with everyday challenges such as rain, drinking, dripping and slipping. The audio accompanying the video is a field recording of a voice that is subsequently distorted and muffled, recreating the sensation of being underwater.
