From the undergrounds of a city, a group of people emerge from the darkness, bodies mingling and intermingling to form one. Wandering the streets of this city where the sky seems clear but the air so dense, everyone wanders according to his own epic stories, with his fears and hopes, with his loves and bitterness, with his rage and his tedium. They are the story we tell.

Out of Frame, 2020, United States, 2 min
Directed by Madison Plummer
Choreography and Dancing by Madison Plummer
Featuring MadPlum Movement
Music Composed by Liminal - Brambles Remix
Cinematography by Madison Plummer
What does it feel like to be caught between holding on and letting go? Out of Frame is a window into uncertainty. The film is paired with a photo series titled Goldilocks, which explores child-like wonder in an abandoned factory and grapples with the same desire to move forward without completely letting go of your past.
Out of Frame was a one-woman project. All the shots were locked down and framed up so that I could climb the wall trusting that I would capture my intended image. But there's a little bit of experimentation in every project, a little bit of uncertainty, and until I was in the editing suite, I didn't know exactly what I had. In truth, it took until the end of the piece for me to truly feel grounded.

Searching for Wonder was inspired by conversations with fellow artists who have diverse relationships to the African Diaspora. These discussions highlighted how we all feel lost in different ways, because history, slavery, colonialism & fear have left many of us feeling disconnected, searching for something we can’t fully articulate.
