Orbit (out of play) | 2020 | Still from 1m of digital video

An exploration of stilled lives during the Covid-19 lockdown. Abandoned toys, suggesting isolation and longing for connection, are set alongside archive footage from NASA that hints at different perceptions of scale, space and time. Shown as part of the One Minute Film Festival (2022).
