Prosopagnosia (2021)

Duration: 10    Category: Opportunities, Short   Opportunity: Bridging the Gap

Prosopagnosia uses expressive animation to investigate intimacy, communication and memory.

Prosopagnosia means face-blindness and to understand this neurodiverse behaviour, the contents of a memory box are intricately explored. Sketchbooks, photographs and diaries unravel to tell a unique and personal story.
