Featuring Short Films by Rikkí Wright, Clifford Prince King, Sydney Canty and Alima Lee, curated by Alima Lee
"Ever since society’s respective shut down, I have been constantly reminded of the importance of community. Our presence is vital and this series is a representation of that notion. Films for isolation includes time-based works of four Black queer artists and their exploration of the self as it is perceived internally. Investigation themes of visibility and home, every piece aims to bring us all closer to the source; remembering what truly matters. “ –Alima Lee
Week 3: Alima Lee
Flesh To Spirit comes off vulnerable, soft, exploratory. It’s this wonder and amusement, the potential of the only softly scripted, that allows for Lee to play, curiously probing with different inquisitive angles, we see Lee’s camera work follow the tender synapses of her perspective. Here she explores viscosity, motility, and communion, studies bodily detail, anatomical focus -- love, it would seem is somewhere present although, it is critical to note, not necessarily romantic, and not necessarily between more than one person.
