VideoSketches For a New Love Song
2021

---

Sketches for a New Love Song was produced for the Spy On Me #3 festival at Hebbel am Ufer in Berlin, which explored the idea of New Communities. In collaboration with visual artist Lotte Meret, the video and sound piece navigates the emotional aftershocks of a breakup as a metaphor for post-intimacy in a digitized world. Through spoken word, ambient textures, and fragmented memories, it investigates how love, loss, and loneliness circulate within algorithmic spaces and mediated relationships.
