across their many islands – two films

I made two short films of the exhibition of this body of work. I wanted to document the universe they temporarily created…The second one features me flicking through the booklet/zine which was created for this exhibition, containing the piece of writing done in collaboration with Becky Beasley.



The music playing during the videos is ANOHNI’s latest album, My Back Was a Bridge For You To Cross, 2023, which I was listening to extensively in the final preparatory stages of the exhibition and while it was on. The poem on the wall is The Underworld by Hannah Enerson, from her book of poems The Kissing of Kissing, Milkweed Editions, 2021. This poem remained in my mind from the moment I first read it, and formed a touchstone for the duration of the making of this work.
