director

Democratic Set is a literally a participatory space for anyone to step into and ‘make a moment’.

Hundreds of neurodiverse and neurotypical participants in Australia and overseas, collaborated with artists to devise and film a ten-second scene. Edited together, a series of scenes pan across the screen, each one a ‘room’ that captures the unique presence of the performer.
