Synopsis
ISLA accesses moments recorded during the artists' time in Southeast Asia via video diaries. The work explores memory and movement as interlacing subjects, celebrating small moments of beauty and rhythms captured accidentally. ISLA is a meditative attempt at reliving and a personal account about presence and place.
