In Accordance With

2020, 4k video, 7 min- This speculative fiction short film imagines a world in which the territory of the body and the territory of this nation are collapsed into one space. At a border checkpoint, pregnant people are forced to endure invasive and emotionally abusive measures in order to get an abortion. Ultimately, the film explores whether this fictional world is really that different from the one we are currently living in.
