As I Imagine My Body Moving

Synopsis

After a sudden health crisis, a former dancer confronts a buried wound carried for over twenty years. The film explores kinaesthetic separation between body and consciousness, where illness fractures time, space and self-perception. In states of immobilisation and depersonalisation, the body reveals an autonomy beyond conscious control.

Elysa Wendi: 'In organising my personal archives, I witness my body across time — the connection between past and present, and the persistent fragility beneath. The film moves freely through space and time via improvised editing and collage, an ironic counterpoint to my own immobility following repeated trauma.'

Director's Profile
Elysa WENDI

Elysa WENDI is a filmmaker, artist, and curator whose practice spans performance and the moving image. Preoccupied with the abstraction of memory from place, time, and biographical traces, Wendi examines these themes in her live and filmic works. Straddling the amorphous boundaries between borders, languages, and cultural practices, she works through hybrid documentary projects, audiovisual essays, and meta-choreographic rituals to explore the auto-fictional narratives of bodies and movements.
