aquest (no) és el teu oceà (2024)
[ this is (not) your ocean ]
Queer bodies attract, fall in love, falter, perish. Are our bodies more vulnerable, and therefore our loves, too? A poetic video letter; a critical research essay; an intimate experiment of image and sound, of heart, head and hormones; and a loving ode to those who have passed on before memories together could be made.
starring Ramon Pujol, Christian Palacios & Jordi Wijnalda
dedicated to M.O’C., and to A.B., P.W.M. and A.K. — and (always) to N.B.W.
