elegy for forgotten selves
2024
Digitized Super 8mm film footage with original text.
A question and an answer, a call and response, vulnerability and guardedness in the same breath.
One actor presents a question openly: it confronts the audience, and then dips, soars, and rolls away from it, carried on a breeze to explore other experiences, whims, and insecurities.
The other rests wearily upon the first, exhausted by the act of honesty. This second actor holds the answer to the question, but in order to access it, the audience must work for it. They must put themselves in an uncomfortable position for viewing, earning the trust required for true vulnerability.
