Luminous Matter
2025 · 15m
A poetic video essay crafted from the personal home-video archives of artists and lovers Bianca Arnold and Moss Berke. Blending feminist philosophy and cinematic theory, the film challenges the normative gaze by collapsing boundaries between subject and object. Intimate and tactile, the camera becomes an extension of their relationship—capturing moments of love, play, dress-up, and reflection. In the spirit of Barbara Hammer, the film is a queer declaration of love made through sunlight, plastic textures, and whispered voiceovers. As the two film and reflect each other, they create a shared space of transformation, where everyday rituals become sites of spontaneous queer co-becoming.
