INTERLOCUTION

In Case of an Emergency

Video Still, In case of Emergency, Atelier Mondial Basel, 2015
In Case of an Emergency was a project funded by Pro Helvetia, Basel, Switzerland, in 2017. In this work, I used a fire exit within a building as a metaphor to explore the perilous journeys of global migrations, often driven by conflict or the escalating effects of climate change. This film has emerged out of need to represent the anxiety that surrounds the lives of those compelled to embark on these uncertain and dangerous passages.

"In case of an emergency use the fire exit"
This eight minute video was filmed in Basel and presented during the open studio event at Atelier Mondial. Basel 2015. The project was realised during the Pro- Helvetia International Artist residency 2015 at Basel
