Listening (2020)

Created in response to COVID-19 pandemic-induced lockdowns, this videopoem explores the tension between inside and outside spaces.

The challenges of social and physical isolation has disrupted our daily lives, drawing attention to our inside spaces as we’re cut off from the outside. The three videopoems, made during isolation in Barcelona, explore topics of waiting for the disturbance to settle, the change in environmental sounds due to the retreat of people, and the sense of claustrophobia in the domestic space. Each videopoem explores the interplay between inside and outside, grappling with the sudden barrier between them.
