Farther. Like a dream unfinished into ever is a performance installation with projected film, photography and dance originally commissioned by and performed at WAY OUT EAST Gallery, London. My film retraces different journeys I made with my father as a child in our hometown in St. Lucia and was made during my first visit back home after his passing. Dislocated from our home, what I remember of the island and my time there with my father fades into memory. In this performance I find new ways to embody my memories of our home, and my transforming relationship with my father, his father, and the unique pluriformities shaping life on the island and across the Caribbean. In the performance I switch between roles of performer and projection operator. Manually moving the projector over different surfaces of the room I shrink, enlarge, transpose, and distort the image between scenes where the film settles and I dance with my different memories of people and place. Orientations between my film, my body, and the audience shift and settle throughout the performance.
