Antemasque

I began the project during my time as artist-in-residence at Primary as part of the A(st)udio Residency programme (April - July 2023) and have collaborated with Mihai Bircu, for the first time, since early June 2023.

Antemasque is a 3 part film and sound piece that retells the ancient myth of Medusa, the story of a serpent haired Gorgon with an 'evil' lithifying gaze who is eventually sacrificed and weaponised. The work centers queer desire and familial love in an attempt to reframe the female voice of the antagonist, by exploring entanglements with nature and focusing on the liveliness within rocks, water and the places that they meet.
