DRACULA + THE MACHIE
11 minutes 31 seconds
DRACULA + THE MACHINE is a video work in the form of theatrical parody, in which
Dracula's gothic rituals of immortality are gradually overtaken by a disembodied
Machine voice. What begins as spectacle slowly reveals itself as a system of control
already embedded in the environment. Drawing on Foucault's analyses of sovereignty
and Deleuze's societies of control, the work asks what power, ego, and immortality
mean in a world shaped by systems that modulate, archive, and outlast us, where the
vampire, once master, becomes merely a node in a network he cannot perceive.

AMBERSTICHE
05 minutes 20 seconds
A maoving image work combining live action and 3D animation,
in which four hybrid human-animal figures perform their final
moments before becoming suspended in amber. Drawing on folkloric
traditions and the symbolism of amber as a vessel of trapped life,
the work reimagines preservation as an ambivalent act: a site of
quiet mourning where beauty, violence, and memory are held in
tension beyond time.

DELIRIUM

hallucinations wander around in a trance: a dance of repulsion after rationality retreats.
