Unfolding as a series of vignettes, hard boil, soft centre is a surrealist short film that reimagines four female archetypes, threaded together with the symbol of the egg. Inspired by mythological figures intermingled with personal dreams, each story features a character of each archetype and their associated landscapes, revealing a peek into these women’s hidden pains. hard boil, soft centre is our way of peeling apart these visual metaphors and letting what’s inside ooze out.

VOODOO, 2022

My role: Director and Video Editor
‘A feverish portrait of the spiritual turbulence felt during an age of accelerated anxiety. The track and video were created right before the COVID-19 pandemic and captures some of the brewing hysteria of that time. Voodoo captures a sense of anarchism and accelerationist anxiety through spasmodic movement and wailing vocals, celebrating the ecstatic nature of the death drive.’ -Text from NOWNESS ASIA
