AND TO BE HELD

Images for And to be held were filmed in the Philadelphia suburbs between 2020-2021 as part of a film essay focused on cinematic explorations of domestic space, light, changing seasons, neighborhood surroundings, and the examination of relational subjects not pictured but alluded to through language and fragmented dialogue. This publication functions as a schematic document, a prelude to a larger book and film utilizing epistolary forms of communication to reflect on what is often out of view from the public’s perception of our innermost relationships. Examining questions like: How do the nuances of gender, sexuality, and intimacy hide within the structure of the home? Where do we find our most embodied selves, within and outside partnership? And where do these traces reside once the structure has been disassembled?
