Dust we can’t quite catch

sounds by Brian Eno, Holger Czukay, J.Peter Schwalm “Wasser”

Our movements entail the history and power relations we hold to land, community and our own bodies. By entangling found
and created media, I contend with how colonial violence is swept up in the invention of a national identity. Taking a closer look
at gestures reveals how embodied movement is an epistemology concerned with the Filipino body that resists; that migrates;
that labors; that performs. Through projected video collage, Dust we can’t quite catch complicates the nationalized dance
Tinikling, and relates it to how colonization and imperial war machines contaminate the gestures and movements of Filipinos.
