This work re-engages with 16mm footage shot in 2021 — repurposed here through a collage strategy that merges it with educational and journalistic clips from mid-20th-century media, reflecting my ongoing exploration of archival material as a site for rewriting personal and collective narratives.In this assemblage, the archival imagery operates as the protagonist’s unconscious: a visual space where cultural codes of masculinity, religiosity, and queerness resurface and clash.

​

Through free association and affective dissonance, the film offers glimpses into a psyche fractured by repression and desire. Here, queerness is not bound by time but emerges as a continuum — shaped by decades of homoerotic aesthetics embedded in public imagery. These fragments haunt and inform the protagonist’s inner world, revealing the way bodies and identities are both disciplined and undone by visual culture.
