A clip from “The Abyss” (1910). A couple quarrel and a parade of numbers “times” them. There’s a mix of software in the processing, AI to separate the silhouettes from their background, but a now obsolete font for the numbers. The sound is a disco track played backwards.
A meditation on the continuing history and emancipatory potential of the Black church as a space of diasporic belonging, affirmation and community organising.

A cinematic music video for independent musician Kēynes, This high-concept music video reflects the beautiful mess that life is – a narrative rumination about the highs and lows of love lost, in a vibrant, fun but meaningful way.
Misdirection is introduced about what it is we’re seeing – romance, intimacy and stoic confidence colour the narrative, using different techniques (a very intentional colour palette, match cuts, quick cuts, vignettes, non-linear and meta-narrative) to tell a story drenched in symbolism (smoke and fire feature throughout) forced perspective and an approach to pop music videos that entertains (as all pop music videos should) but stays true to the tropes of European cinema in a fresh modern way whilst paying tribute to the vernacular of classic romances.
REMEMBERING follows a younger version of Mark, as he relives fleeting memories of a school he attended as a teenager, a blossoming passion for dance, and the final memories he has of his grandmother.

Using physicality, haunting sound design and immersive camera work as vessels for intimate, multi-layered and unerringly contemporary story telling. Our lead finds herself on a repeating loop, the end is the start as she oscillates between what was and what is. Is she unable to escape her trauma and her psychological suffocation or patterning? The movement echoes the work of Pina Bausch, and in doing so draws links to the expression of the feminist landscape of emotion and conflict that we continue to work through.
This dance mocap performance explores fantastical interaction and embodiment beyond the humanoid avatar form, challenging and reimagining the normative and ableist ways the body is understood and represented through immersive technology.
