Posthuman



Posthuman
is a short film made during 2019. It features a selection of original and archival footage.

The initial voiceover serves to establish the narrative, or dream, around which the film is structured.

Initial voiceover: Amidst all the implausibility of the world and sensation and experience and memory, the idea that life and the world are the fragmented remains of the dead's collective and fading memory appeals. The world has probably already ended. This strangeness and chaos, this grand old play of light is the dead shuffling what remains of their recollection, before the embers of their consciousness glow out, at last, into their next, unrecognisable form.
