Reverse (2020-2010)
This video was created during the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, the pandemic made me think about everyday life, just as I suddenly found a lot of my low quality video footage. It made me think about filming over the past 10 years, and threw me back in time to find the meaning of something I am no longer in, while I am standing right there. Then, I discovered the importance of footage that has never been shown in any kind of film before. Is this moving history still important to us now?
