Leaving

SYNOPSIS

Leaving is a short video piece that explores transient spaces and bodies through the chronicling of a hitchhiking trip taken during the summer of 2016, throughout Canada and the United States. Based on fragmentary evidence collected - a broken video camera, a wide variety of cuts and bruises and a general idea of what was written in a lost notebook - it explores the intersection between femininity and travel, the manifold perceptions of the other, as well as the use of intimacy and kinship as tools for protection.
