13 Buildings is a narrative video that reflects on the evaporative nature of memory and our hopes and ideas towards a journey home. The lanes of traffic have dissolved between the many places that I have lived and this work represents a coming to terms with that natural space between. That transience, that decade of movement has afforded both opportunity and loss, and I am interested in creating work that describes the social, political and personal dynamics of this interaction. In 13 Buildings, locative habitats become the topic of a conversation between two people united as friends but who are philosophically opposed.
