Empty Feet & Fireflies (2021)

A patchwork of images exploring the balance between the electrical whirrings and waste cycles of our consumer-driven modern world, alongside the essential pulses, textures and rhythms of nature.

Empty Feet & Fireflies (2021) poster

Bringing together the salvaged remnants of an unrecoverable part-installation, part-improvised narrative film project, 'Soup' (2017), 'Empty Feet and Fireflies' is the result of an assemblage of images; portraits of real people living in different places and time-zones, filmed over a year of study in the UK, Oceania and South-East Asia. The film travels through interconnecting streams of memory, exploring the balance between the industrial, electrical whirrings and waste cycles of our consumer-driven modern world, alongside the more essential pulses, textures and rhythms of nature. From cityscapes to tiny bugs, in discord and harmony; we navigate through the residual static left somewhere in-between.
