Fugue: roads, (excerpt), 10:40, 2024
____________________________________________
Fugue is an experimental photo-roman shown on slide projector, made using Kodak Ektachrome film shot across Utah, Colorado, New York, and Rhode Island.
The images and voiceover reference and remake films from the 90s New Queer Cinema movement —My Own Private Idaho, Happy Together, High Art — that were formative in outlining and visualizing queer safety and love, often defining the borders of the possible. Fugue is an attempt to formulate narratives through the cracks and slippages around these reproductions.

Without vigilance, a story’s origins are forgotten. Rather than mechanically allowing other people’s stories to guide our lives, it is possible to get involved and narrate from a state of passionate participation.

It is natural to adopt other people’s stories to help create our identities, to fill in gaps in our own experience or intelligence. Stories become easily cemented and rendered inflexible, developing into assumptions upon which a life is lived

I stood twinned in her dark wells. With hair so pale and strange. Windowed away in another world. While the red sun sank eternally.

I didn’t know you could see. Yourself in other’s eyes. Or see the sun in someone else.

I looked into her eyes. So dark they seemed all pupil. Eyes in which the sun was setting. In which, I stood beside the sun

Hautoscopy, e.i. the encounter with one’s own double, or the “doppelganger experience”.

Hautoscopy is a term used in psychiatry for the reduplicative hallucination of “seeing one’s own body at a distance”. In addition to visual impressions, he-autoscopy involves a feeling of detachment or of extreme lightness of one’s body and often vertigo is reported. The ego, however, remains localized within the natural boundaries of one’s own body.

This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media.
