Multiplicity
2017
Single channel HD video with audio

In Multiplicity I have turned the camera upon my close collaborators and myself to explore the manipulation of our identities exploring Jean-Luc Nancy’s notion of transimmanence, through the medium of video. I explore transimmanence as the idea of the multiplicity of existence, a torsion of both transcendance and immanence woven together. The result is an autodigesting leitmotif, where the Self is pulled and propelled in and through itself in a continual discourse with the viewer.
