DIAMOND - 2016
Diamond and S have a conversation together in a bleak studio space. Diamond picks up objects and S prompts him to explore them through different lives (the life of a sad writer, or the life of a rough construction worker, the life of an English+ Japanese garden). Their improvised conversation echoes the multiple facets of a DIAMOND and the multiplicity of one human fighting a society that tries to sterilise and reduce man to one characteristic only.
