THE INDIVIDUAL

Two-channel 16mm film, optical sound
28 minutes, 2024

“A two-channel Dada séance conducted through the fractured lens of Man Ray’s autobiography and filtered through the spirits of Krauss, Cahun, and Acker. This speculative docu-collision reframes Dada’s jagged legacy a century on—spinning questions of authorship, reproduction, and the female body through loops of text, image, and gesture. Cinema meets the darkroom in a poetic act of historical détournement, equal parts homage and erasure.” - Chicago Underground Film Festival
