What Should We Eat After Dreaming? 2020

Moving image, Single-channel VideoDuration: 05:05


“Traversing the Y‑Axis of Existence Through the Framework of Love”

Shaken and stirred between everyday mundanity and the abstract, sensorial cosmos, ​‘What Should We Eat After Dreaming?’ takes my gaze as an audience in a strong yet gentle grip. I am the white lady held in King Kong’s grasp, except instead of scaling the Empire State Building, the film takes me on a journey. One minute, the film and I are perched on the ledge of a hovering satellite, our feet dangling in space, observing love everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Then we leap, the forces of gravity pulling us within the blink of an editor’s cut into the eye piece of a microscope. On the petri dish is the human rituals and routines that over time constitute a web of security, familiarity, and attachment. Back and forth, we bounce across these two realms, two perspectives, two approaches. We bounce to-and-fro enough times so that we start sensing that they are in fact parallel spaces, rather than opposites from each other.
