"Passenger" is a single-channel video that can be screened as a short film orlooping video installation. The piece is made up of video footage shot over a periodof years (most of it shot on an iPhone with the Filmic Pro app), combined withheavily manipulated Web footage, excerpts from home movies, and various othersources. The film is a visual representation of the filmmaker’s own thoughts andmemories, but is ambiguous enough to allow for the construction of whatevernarrative or interpretation is unique to each viewer.
