Portraits
A series of video portraits in collaboration with musician Hauschka, to tell simple stories of ordinary people, and the small pleasures and dramas of their lives. The project grew out of a shared interest in human connections, using Volker’s 2023 album, ’Philanthropy’ as a start point.

Henry dances in the street to keep his body moving after a Motor Neurone Disease diagnosis. I met Henry by chance when he was visiting London from Australia. He played a voice note using AI to me to tell his story.
