fluid life
Fluid Life is an experimental short film created in collaboration with Yui Yamamoto and Adam Razvi. The work explores the body’s relationship with water, using play as a tool to reflect on gender, identity, and the fluidity of the self. Through improvised gestures, the film blurs boundaries between performer, element, and viewer, opening conversations around gender fluidity and the spaces where bodies resist fixed definitions.
While performed by a female body, the film avoids assigning specific roles or identities, allowing the body’s encounters with water to remain ambiguous and open-ended. The only male presence appears fleetingly at the end, further unsettling familiar dynamics of gaze and touch.
Shot on Super8, the work embraces the imperfections and texture of the medium, exploring these themes through a playful, bodily gaze. The unscripted nature of the performance leaves space for spontaneity, vulnerability, and reinterpretation.
