Time Freed (Beyond Capture)

Commissioned by the Circle Project, Time Freed (Beyond Capture) was developed through a series of workshops with 15 women with lived experience of incarceration. Under the inspired direction of Korean-born, Vancouver based artist, Jin-me Yoon, the women designed their individual masks and costumes and worked on somatic-based choreography to lend expression to their collective potentialities. The workshop process culminated in a film production located in Whey-ah-Wichen “faces the wind,” now known as Cates Park, North Vancouver, BC on Tsleil-Waututh land. There, the women appear as mysterious apparitions who move and dance through the landscape in an affirmation of their life and freedom, contrasting with intercut manifestations of extractive capitalism. The resulting experimental film resists the objectifying eye of the camera and the punitive logic of carceral systems to free imagination and bodies in time and space.
