Col / 5’42” / In English with no subtitles
Daniels references the filmography of Todd Haynes’ through the TV advertisement that lures Carol towards the Wrenwood Centre - the looming New Age retreat in SAFE but uses inanimate protagonists in the style of Superstar - The Karen Carpenter Story. Daniels explores broader institutional critiques and the pressured expectations of the arts centre to fully engage communities and deliver transformative experiences within an austerity context.
