Crepuscular Dreams of (Dis-) Alienation is a collage of found and homemade audio and visual material, intermingling trips to visit family in Cambodia with personal material from her own unreleased music production. The audio-visual collage presents interviews from women and non-binary people of colour that include friends and family, as well as the artists’ sister. Tracing a diaspora across Paris, Algeria, Reykjavik, the Congo, Cambodia and Dublin, they critically reflect on present day considerations from the position of those who’ parents and grandparents directly experienced the colonial exploits of various European imperialisms.
