What A Place
Created in collaboration with electronic music artist altrice, What A Place explores the vast spectrum of self-expression available to an individual at any moment. Through four interconnected yet distinct scenes, the film captures heightened states of expression embodied by a central character. As the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur, we are left questioning whether these intense moments are real—or manifestations of repressed desires yearning to break free.
The film premiered on Nowness in April 2024.
