Long-Covid and the Culture of Disbelief

Overview

Entwining the personal with the socio-political this moving-image work explores the impact and activation of myalgic encephalomyelitis’s (M.E) socio-medical past upon present long-covid experiences. Utilising shifting image quality - abutting CG animation; VHS home movies; smartphone; archival and contemporary found footage - the moving-image work offers crip time as poetic, of what it is to be within uncertain sense and, via a self-reflexive subtitled voice, of a film that thinks itself as sick.
