SPINELESS

Overview

In "SPINELESS", artist Marissa Sean Cruz embodies an ogre-girl character who gets a bone lodged in her throat and is unsure if she has died from asphyxiation. Set in a digitally-rendered room , this abstracted narrative is told through a series of vignettes that look to greed, hope, and self-fulfilment in contemporary times. The ogre is caught in the chokehold of some kind of technological hell that is as absurd and alienating as the real online/offline culture it references. This purgatory world formed from a digital economy, nihilism and pressingly, under the state of climate crisis.

Directed by Marissa Sean Cruz
