ocean w Pro

Raised in Los Angeles and currently residing in Philadelphia, ocean's practice tends to anti-blackness and its hold on preservation, absence, and persistence. They approach film as a site to think through questions. Their work concerns what remains when the image fails to arrive, when what is seen cannot be unseen. Sometimes through the materiality of celluloid, they explore the tension between presence and disappearance, using the tangible process of film to contemplate the conditions of being, loss, and return. But not limted to.
