𖤘 Short: Experimental
Ten years after Hurricane Sandy flooded the Dumbo neighbourhood of Brooklyn, new luxury housing is built ever closer to the water’s edge, poised to ignore the risks of future storm surges. Shot on 16mm film with layered exposures created in-camera through multiple exposures, the film examines the neighbourhood in this time of transition and imagines what may still come.
