Double screen projection with staggered loop, 2014, 10 mins
The sound leaks as one film ends and the other starts, to encourage the viewer to move through mirrored rooms to see alternating films.
The films are stylistic counterparts, exploring similar themes of inter-subjectivity, authorship and the effect relationships have on identity.
