What’s in a Lamp explores the profound connection between light and life. The warm glow of the lamps envelops the characters, creating an intimate atmosphere where light is not only physical but emotional, offering protection and warmth. A visual narrative of connection and humanity, where light becomes a symbol of care and deep bonds.

The lovingly compiled collection of shells, the life's work of Maria Cândida Consolado Macedo, comes to life in a rhythmic ritual of hand-processed 16mm footage and trancelike sounds of capiz shells.

A visual and sonic journey through the rural-urban landscape of northern Portugal, where door handles stand out as key elements of its identity and character.
Accompanied by the sound design of Marco Maril, the piece highlights the hidden beauty and distinctive value of these everyday objects.
The images, captured in locations such as Viana do Castelo, Ponte de Lima, Esposende, Barcelos, Vila Praia de Âncora, Caminha, Póvoa de Varzim, and Vila do Conde, invite us to reflect on the uniqueness of this Portuguese microlandscape.

The language in which lullabies were sung to me kills. And I am with it. And the lullabies fall silent.
An inner monologue between two languages and identities. Between the black and white of the pinscreen ‘L’Alpine’.

This piece continues my exploration of nature alongside significant queer individuals in my life. Filmed across various forests, arboretums, and gardens in Seattle and Vancouver with artist and friend Gabby Follett, this film employs intricate visual layering, hand-processed film, and biofeedback sound to delve into themes of queer ecology. The work celebrates the beauty of non-hierarchical, non-binary, and non-human-centric ways of experiencing queerness in and as part of nature.

History Will Teach Us Nothing

Hitler sings Jimi Hendrix‘ songs... When I heard „Up from the skies“ again, I found it remarkable how topical this text from 1967 is and Sting‘s „History will teach us nothing“ (1987) came to mind - as well as the image that so-called evil is returning with the rise of right-wing populism. In my movie, Hitler approaches Earth in a spaceship ...
Using various AI voice generators, I had Hitler speak the lyrics of Jimi Hendrix. A collage of animated cartoons, found footage, hand-painted film material and artificial intelligence.

Toil and Spin

Cast off from shore. Into the dim, the dark. Away, away. Adrift in an oarless boat. And deep, deeper below the mirror surface.
Then snap. Caught in eddies of regret, past slights, tasks undone, worries fresh and aged. Ever searching for a channel back to the elusive elsewhere.
Toil and Spin uses the visual language of minimalism to describe sleep and sleeplessness.
