NO CORNERS (2020)
SYNOPSIS
We seek comfort in every possible way. Even if it’s unfamiliar and discomforting?
Within the familiarity of the couch, the slouch. The comfort of a space and a state of being that we seek ever so often. A guilty pleasure being nudged into the depths of our habits. But when we awake, and we step out and we leave something on the couch, what aftertaste does comfort leave behind?
No Corners re-examines the boundaries of comfort and negotiates the psychological space surrounding that highly sought after quality of life we tirelessly navigate towards. How comfortable are we with ourselves as individuals to leave a mark in society and how do we alter the idea of comfort for others to feel included?
In collaboration with film artist Khairulhakim, No Corners dives deep into the in-between state of comfort and discomfort by using the medium to further push the idea of transporting and stimulating emotions.
