MOLTING, 2020, 11:31 min, HD video

with Gaia Mencagli

video excerpt

It was low tide at the beach of Dry Lagoon State Park, Northern California, June 2018. On the shore we found empty shells of crabs and learned about molting, the process crabs undergo in order to grow. That same day we covered our bodies in mud.

Exploring the physicality of the biological process of molting, the work proposes an encounter to other-than-human realities, and invites an attunement to cyclical processes of renewal and transformation.
