In-Between
Nykyri Anna
A collage-like short film composed of photographs and moving image combines details and fragments of bodies moving in half-empty urban spaces. In-Between suggests that, while movement and touch are being restricted, we are living an emotional collective experience. Isolated, we grief collectively the world that doesn’t return to what it used to be. At the same time, empty spaces can be seen as cradles of creativity, or open stages for the future yet to come. The short film reflects on how shared grief can bring us together, closer to each other, and reduce distances between us.
