Reptilian Freeze Reflex

Reptilian Freeze Reflex attempts to capture the embodied experience of the freeze reflex through the frenetic energy of a camera-less film made by scratching directly onto 16mm black leader. The film reflects upon the way we sometimes fail to relate to one another as individuals because of severe anxiety.

Made collaboratively with Lindsey Arturo and Rachel Lane
