  • Les Mains Negatives

    A postcard, St. Ouen flee markets, Paris, 2012.

  • Sacris Pulso

    Sacris Pulso departs from the dismemberment of another film, “Brasiliários”, a filmic adaptation of Clarice Lispector’s chronic “Brasília”, a visionary text that looks at the inaugurated capital as a ruin of or from the future. Through the assemblage of “Brasiliários” with a body of 8mm found footage depicting rituals of travel and family, “Sacris Pulso” takes the form of a voyage of memory and fiction, of a past and future time calling upon the ghosts of Lispector, upon the spectral ghost of Brasília and sewed through the ties of a family fiction.

  • Aturquesada

    Aturquesada is a performance-based project playing with the colour tealquoise, a word coined by the artist to describe a greenish colour that exists in between turquoise and teal. This performance takes place in a snowy landscape that is typical during Canadian winters. The violence inflicted upon the main character and her demise is absurd and humorous. This performative project is inspired by the artist’s connection to the winter Canadian landscape as an immigrant, as well as the emotionally violent nature of a brutal cold winter. This symbolic death by tealquoise is also part of a larger body of work that…

  • Castles On The Ground

    Buildings rise from the rubble, defying gravity to re-imagine their fate and the possibility of affordable housing for all.

  • Spermwhore

    This short film is a queer, feminist and experimental work that began in 2009 and came to fruition in the spring of 2013. Spermwhore is a queer experimental film about unwanted childlessness in a world where normative heterosexual relationships dictate who can become parents and in what way. When it comes to reproduction our merciless bodies reduce us to merely a set sex or given gender. But the longing for children is not limited to our bodies, and the possibility of pregnancy can be gifted, shared and undertaken together.

  • Rhizomatic Directed Simulation

    The movie opens with a quote from Borges: “The best imitation consists of the original’s destruction and the creation of a self referential text.” While a galaxy of Super 8 luxuries erupt, the film hand processed, the emulsion cracked in order to reveal its silver secrets, a silhouetted camera operator attempts to contain the experience, even as he is subjected to the same chemical disintegrations. — Mike Hoolboom

  • Poem

    An ode to my daily environment, and the presences of two beings – one newly arrived, the other recently departed. Images cycle and combine into dream-like passages that reveal the infinite potentials of sight within the finitude of everyday objects.

  • Alberta

    Travels made in Banff and Jasper National Parks, on paths cut through mountains into sky. “A journey without arrival, in the great tradition of Canadian landscape travelogues.” – Richard Kerr

  • Festival of Light

    A record of illumination on the darkest night of the year, during an annual celebration held in Kensington Market, Toronto.

  • lay claim to an island

    Texts from the 1969 American Indian Occupation of Alcatraz and letters from supporters propel an exploration of political yearning, emancipatory architecture and failed utopias. What does it mean to claim land that has more value as a symbol than as a potential home? And how does that symbol function beyond the boundaries of its geographic limits?
