Blue Is The Enemy
Created as part of commission for Poplar Union Digital Arts Festival 2020.
The blinking light projects binary code translating to "blue is the enemy".
I request each subject to sit for me, to make a portrait
“You can stay for as long as you feel comfortable”
before the film we spend time talking about home, journey
They speak in different languages, I have a translator, I also record the conversation, we talk about time,
They describe days of walking,
months of paperwork,
Years to unite with families,
I question their intent, my bias,
we sit in darkness in conflict,
in agreement,
Together in a landscape of blue
