Michelle Hessel Alves & Woraya Boonyapanachoti – Boarding Time – Brazil/Thailand

Boarding Time is a 26-minute-long video where the audience is invited to board a plane where the environment and the humans blend together as dots in 3D space. It plays with the idea that even when we are “waiting” to travel, we are still moving in our relative stillness. Boarding Time invites us to rethink our perception of space and movement.
