ENTER WORK FORCE (2018):
Operating primarily on chance, blunder, risk, and play, this project relates to the fluidity of the self and its sensual modes of existence. By sharing costumes and trading places, we dismantle any fixed notion of being, taking on a number of characters along the way. In the film, these characters exist in unfixed/nonlinear time and dig in—joyously, tentatively—to a buffet of sensual pleasures.
The improvisational actions within this work are mediated by the camera and augmented by the associative potential of post-production.

Production still from “ENTER WORK FORCE”.
