Consensual Healing
A conversation between a therapist and their client unfolds as a yellow ball swings back and forth. Replicating simple animations of online EMOR videos used to treat PTSD, the film feeds Octavia Butler's short story 'Bloodchild' through scripted therapeutic protocols, destabilising relations between coercion and consent, form and content, trauma and fiction.
