I’ve been trying to reach you

Made for a giant proxy phonescreen in a shop window, I’ve been trying to reach you asks what it means to observe the street within the glassy space of a messaging app. In a context of fleeting and fragmentary attention, the film invites an intimate cinematic encounter conducted through reflected glances and pinged text. A hybrid text exchange sampled from AI-generated image descriptions, performance scripts and Virginia Woolf’s Orlando plays with the poetics of passing by, offering moments that slip between reflection and interruption, dialogue and disconnect.
