Viewer Advice: Contains stroboscopic imagery

In this ecstatic vision of the body in flux, a newborn encounters their digital mutation 25 years on.

Crackling with sensuality and raucous invention, Yace Sula’s delirious portrayal of queer sexuality – which won an Emerging Experimental Video Artist award at the Ann Arbor Film Festival – uses footage of the director’s own christening as a playground for a series of analog and digital aberrations, a kind of phantom presence haunting the infant from the future.
