Portrait 2020
Portrait 2020 is a multimedia film that draws, dances, and vocalizes last year's experience. The film’s collection of subjective impressions overlaps with the collective experience of sacrifice, uncertainty and constant change. In former times, tragic events such as the pandemic would have been the fabric for fables, mythological characters, and wrathful gods. Today, we are past such superstitious beliefs and yet tragedy continues to strike and challenge human behaviour. Is it time to reinstate Goddess Fortuna and try to win her favor through sacrificial performances?
