Rhythm Study II (2016-2019)

Rhythm Study II is a second attempt of trying out the same process used in creating Rhythm Study by Coila-Leah Enderstein and myself. this time, the process became imbued with technical failures and year-long delays. the film incorporates our whatsapp conversations that we had while i was struggling to edit the footage, it embraces the pixelated effects of not knowing how to export a film and it features a very dreamy soundscape composed by Coila and constructed entirely from the video’s audio.

as we attempted to re-create the effortless creative exchange of “Rhythm Study” and instead encountered upsets that became so integral and important – i now wonder if, in the honouring of the oddities that emerge during process, this film speaks more directly to our shared interests in vulnerability, conversation and intimacy.
