Crash (or the thing that separates us)

Crash (or the thing that separates us) is a video inspired by a plant, the Giant Hogweed, which is known for its height as well as having some harmful properties - it can burn skin and can cause blindness if its sap, combined with UV light, reaches the eyes.
In the video, which is played in a loop, the plant is depicted, pushing against the glass, in an attempt to either escape or reach one another.
The work blurs the lines between body, landscape, the digital realm, and reality, tapping into matters of belonging, exclusion, hierarchy and defense.
