CHRYSALIS (2025)

Video, 14 minutes

Produced by bb house

CHRYSALIS is a short film that meditates on the enduring question of poetry’s aftermath. Co-written, co-produced, co-directed and performed by Phanuel Antwi and Lesley Loksi Chan, the artistic collaborators construct a visual memorial that is both an elegy and a devotion, where the poetic persists despite its supposed demise.

lotioning

LOTIONING is a lo-fi docu-fiction in which seven Black men perform vignettes of self-care. Each vignette depicts moments of flexibility and friction, while also experimenting with movement, lighting and colour in relation to the phone camera’s built-in features of auto-focus and auto-white balance. The film's soundtrack comprises voice memos, recordings from book readings and an excerpt of a performance lecture on Black Noise.

A multilayered exercise in choreography and improvisation both in front and behind the camera, LOTIONING is a meditation on the Black body and invisible pain.

Video, 80 minutes
