Overview

This work is based on long-exposure still photographs of everyday scenes taken between 2025 and 2026. While there is no video, the accumulation of light transforms into an intense flicker that seems to break through the retina, compressing the sense of time and inducing hallucinations.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A disorienting visual meditation that collapses time and ordinary moments into hypnotic, almost hallucinogenic flicker. Watching it feels like your perception is being deliberately unmoored.
