2022
An exercise in surrealism inspired by the poem “Domain of the Marvelous” by Martinician poet and scholar Suzanne Césaire. With filming support from Alan Lin and Tulsi Patel.
‘The domain of the Strange, the Marvelous and the Fantastic, a domain scorned by people of certain inclinations. Here is the freed image, dazzling and beautiful, with a beauty that could not be more unexpected and overwhelming. Here are the poet, the painter, and the artist, presiding over the metamorphoses and the inversions of the world under the sign of hallucinations and madness.”
—Suzanne Césaire, Tropiques, 1941
