afflicted states film series

The afflicted states series of films was begun in late 2001, a historical moment when exploring the relationship between the individual and state seemed to take on a new urgency.

These short films see the present through the past, seeking to locate significant but overlooked precursors to the comtemporary. Their images seek to register a social experience of landscapes at points of discursive excess and obliquely explore 'social liberty'.

The series is responsive to ongoing events and not proceeding according to a plan, instead it presents an alternate topography of spaces, places and interests.
