Current Movements aims to depict the human condition within the context of global displacement.
Immigrants—those forced to cross Europe’s many borders in search of a better life—often confront conditions that are catastrophic, the result of political and social systems that fail to protect them. This work seeks to confront the audience with this reality, to witness the suffering and get a notion of the vast, hostile spaces many of these individuals must traverse and the uncertainty that lies ahead.
The visual language and direction move between documentary realism and a dreamlike estrangement, where time and movement lose aim and course.
What remains is a question:
How does one proceed when the ground beneath one’s feet is no longer stable?
