Description

Super-UnitTeresa Czepiec20 min., video, 2015, Poland“Superjednostka (Polish for Superunit) is a huge block of flats designed as a housing machine.

Irradiant Field is a visual and sonic portrait at the intersection of nature and machine - a desert mirage of light, wind, water, and metallic reflection.” LKAnother CityLan Pham Ngoc25 min, video, 2016, Viet Nam“A drenched middle-aged woman taking off her wig, gazing out of the glass windows. A young man bursting into tears in a karaoke room surrounded by tropical landscape wallpaper. A young woman trying to wipe a smear off of the wedding dress she’s wearing. Each predicament is woven seamlessly together by a familiar Asian refrain…” LPN
