Composition
Together
A collage of found footage from archives and social media presents contrasting models of communal life and asks whether the desire to own a home and property has really brought progress to humanity.
A Wolf in the Suburbs
In suburban Canada, Wolf Ruck’s neighbors want him to mow his lawn. The city keeps sending violation notices but the former Olympic athlete has no intention of giving up his paradise. He decides to fight back.
Guided Tour
On the island of Zuania, site of a former US military base, herds of feral horses roam the streets at night. Fiction and reality intermingle in this playful visual essay about (neo)colonialism and aggressive real estate speculation in the Caribbean.
PICNIC – In Light Invisible to the Human Eye
While Gaza is being bombed, Israelis picnic at border posts that are listed as tourist hotspots on TripAdvisor. Shot on infrared to capture scenes normally invisible to the human eye.
