Drawn to the big human subjects but ever unsure how to approach them. I think of these short films like inappropriate gestures, physical actions or shouts in public spaces. They are about seeing shamanistic hedonism and animism in shopping centres, the confusions and difficulties of taking responsibility for the state of the world in a fractured community, shifting identity (finding myself behind someone else’s eyes), subjectivity and perspective. I’ve got a wooden spoon in my hand and I’m stirring the chthonic soup. All the clips are taken in public spaces in Walthamstow, where I live in the east end of London, UK.
