Montreal (2024)

In 2003, I crossed the Atlantic on a freight ship and shot some mini-DV footage along the way. As the video record of this trip deteriorates, I transferred it to 16mm Tri-X reversal film to save it from extinction. A meditation on the (in)stability of archival media, memory, and bodies in motion.
