I feel a snap in me.
A snap is a crack.
A snap is sharp.
A snap is abrupt.
A break suddenly.
And completely.
Irreversibly.
Siren Song is a poetic exploration of the gesture of snapping and its radical potential. A snap is a rupture—a moment of unbecoming, when what can no longer be endured breaks apart. It is an act of refusal, a rejection of the accumulated weight of a history that has shaped one into unwanted forms. In the video, the snap becomes a transformative force, opening up new ways of relating to the world and proposing alternative paths for navigating it.
Siren Song is the last episode of the project ‘What Happens If We Wait Together?’ (2020-23).
