Generational Traces

Generational Traces explores the ritualistic nature of memory, care, and migration through the lens of four generations of women in my family. In this work, 16mm film is literally entangled, as I explore the process of producing photograms on analogue film using my own hair. These abstract explorations are intercut with performance documentation filmed together with my grandmother, mother, sister, aunt and nieces, alongside self-shot footage in the sea and lakes. Waterways act as a connecting element between these scenes, alluding to the role that water and oceans have played in our journeys, travels, and migrations.
