holding onto a vanishing spot: placeholder is a sensory experience exploring an encircled piece of nature shaped by speed and noise. Through rotating sounds and a 360-degree one take on 16mm film, the documentary draws us into a symbolical habitat being consumed by urban expansion and disturbance. The composition emphasizes the subjective perception of metropolitans, reflecting the constant overstimulation that comes with our surroundings.<\/b><\/i><\/p>

Since 2022 the german police uses 106 surveillance cameras located in 7 zones of cologne, germany to surveil its people. I surveilled them back over the course of one month. “Countershot” is a performative film study attempting to symbolically target governmental surveillance in public spaces through individual artistic practice. One super 8 cassette exposed exclusively with single frames; the act of shooting back.<\/em><\/p>
