Southern Bypass is a road at the south of Nairobi in Kenya that leads into the heart of the city; This single take shot was filmed at 5.49am to 6am heading into the direction of the sunrise. The motorbike rider is a boda boda, a motorcycle taxi service. Where they came from and where they are going is incidental to their state of being; they are still and the world around them moves.

The Soundtrack is by Jospeh Kamaru aka KMRU, a Nairobi ambient musician and field recording artist who is based in Berlin. It begins with the sound of the motorbike which gradually transposes into ambient tones before returning to the road.

Hole is the Bubble i Blew is a hybrid documentary combining video, generative animation and composite imagery. This project explores the potentialities of queering time by generating a shared space 'between the frames' in which personal narratives morph together in a plurality of languages, intimacies, and histories. It is a choral history of shared intimacy where days and nights loop as an apartment window emerges from a burning tunnel; from this window a small group of people share stories of platonic and erotic love through space and time that separate like oil on the surface of water.

"Movements pulse into the void, actions become sentient, consequences wait for the morning that will never be."
