Pink Pantheress @ Camp Flog Gnaw

My design was heavily inspired by the series, Twilight Zone, the goal was to create work that portrayed an absurdist style while maintaining a clear story. I created landscapes for each moment of the musical journey and used tunnels to transition the audience between eachworld.

This show was created as a call to climate action following the old vicmonologues. I worked on this show at The Old Vic as Video Designer and Video Programmer.

ArtX Live

I was commissioned by ArtX Lagos to create work that explored themes of decolonisation, the prompt posed the question: how do our collective histories play into our future? And how does archiving and sampling present a stage for exploring those themes.

The work that resulted was a short film created in Unreal Engine, I reached out to mycommunity comprising of Nigerians and presented them with a series of prompts. I serialised the responses into the storyline, thus creating this film and a response to the initial prompt.
