Do you want a summer romance?
A short dance and three-channel installation
A study on the relationship between memory and desire. Pulling from personal experiences, the film explores how we carry our memories and how we sit with the desire of an object that’s no longer there. We see a male figure, slow dancing, romanticizing the memory of a relationship represented by a blob of gold fringe in contrast with a female figure, muscles quaking, as she moves across bridges in order to leave behind memories of love and shake her still present desires.
