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.

LOVED TO DEATH IN THE RACIAL EMBRACE
By Phanuel antwi
Ranging from the terrifying embrace of the slave ship’s hold to the racist encoding of ‘cuddly’ toys, On Cuddling is a unique combination of essay and poetry that contends with the way racial violence is enacted through intimacy.

LLOYD WONG , unfinished
By Lloyd Wong x Lesley Loksi Chan
In the early 1990s, artist Lloyd Wong began to make a video about his living with HIV. It remained unfinished. Thirty years after his death, Lesley Loksi Chan reworks the materials. Rough and unprocessed, this film explores the meanings of incompletion.
