The FUTORA, 2025
single channel video, colour, 13’05’’
connecting traces of hypnagogia, fragmented geography and childhood sci-fi media, through senses of time belonging to translucent dreams, shadows, fantasies and family owned workshops.
The film follows an unidentified ghostly entity that travels through nocturnal shimmer. It is an ‘egregore’, a collective being formed by unconscious memories. Inspired by 1980s and 1990s Chinese children’s science fiction media, the film reimagines electricity not just as infrastructure, but as a living force. The images drift through the peripheral glimmers of a nocturnal city, where unfinished imaginings of the future slip into another world.
