maglaho man ang lungsod, tayo'y mananatili · 2022

even if cities would vanish, we will remain

Speeding cars. Dancing lights. The Philippine capital and the night. Burnt and distorted pictures of an unknown young boy. An image of a naked body mapping it in the city. A visual mood piece of the Philippine capital and a study on rhythm, pace, and restlessness. A sensual aural arrangement gathered from recordings of intimate moments with the persona’s visitor—their lover. A nauseous experience in an alienating world, finding peace and home in one’s existence.
