Parallel Movement

This practice-based research explores how specific sites and locations from European cinema are used to construct meaning and seeks to ask how the reappraisal of these geographies can elucidate new meanings, reflecting tensions within contemporary European identity. The research investigates how material conditions shape cultural production and how access to a particular culture informs the production of identity, relevant today within a European context, especially in relation to recent political events.
