Single channel / Digital Video / Colour / Sound

The essay film Dazzled (Numbed?) by a Myth (2022) explores the fragile ecology of the Hauraki Plains through two readings. The first traverses past social and ecological transformation in the Plains. The latter reading grapples with what remains — shifting margins and precarious territories.
