Indistinct Chatter 1 - Have You Ever Seen a Cow?

While listening to his radio and watching late-night TV, a young boy named Rajinder drifts off to sleep, only to slip into a 30-minute stop-motion fever dream. Trapped in a state reminiscent of sleep paralysis, his consciousness is whisked away into a bizarre, liminal "Backrooms"-style landscape of endless empty rooms, eerie televised static, and surreal infomercials advertising oddities like Bramble Bor and Good Windows. Guided by unsettling figures, including a sentient cabbage creature named Fungela, what begins as a strangely soothing, nostalgic trip into 90s cable aesthetic gradually devolves into deeply psychological, aggressive nightmare fuel. It is an analog horror piece that perfectly captures the uncanny terror of waking up in front of a buzzing television screen in the dead of night.

Two Hours Before

On a high mountain by the ocean there's a small town called Amberwood, in caves of which life has been developing for many years. Its residents did not realize that in the meantime another life form, quite different from the human one, was developing just under their feet. Years went by, and the story of the cave creatures became an urban myth that local kids used to tell in order to scare their younger siblings, and only the older generation living in this town knew well that all of that was true.

Eyes of Plants

Filmed across the arid Atacama Desert–where the mining of precious metals and the recent privatization of the water industry threatens the stability of the local ecosystem–and in the fluorescent haze of a healing ceremony performed in an LED-lit, rose-filled shamanic shrine, Eyes of Plants portrays contemporary life as a contact zone: between myth and technology, desert culture and global capital, the sick body and the over-extracted earth. The starting point for the video is a jarro pato, a pre-Columbian duck-shaped ceramic vase belonging to the Diaguita people of Northern Chile and Argentina, often depicted with tears streaming from its eyes. Later supplanted by other technologies of sight and perception, including a blinking drone that surveilles from the sky and the green glowing eyes of a USB-powered face mask, the jarro pato figures into a new mythology of an evolving present–one informed by both spiritualism and capitalism.

The Dark Side (Remastered)

The film explores an inner struggle with identity, emotional numbness, and self-alienation. Through fragmented memories and unresolved experiences, the protagonist begins to lose touch with his dreams, passions, and sense of purpose. As pain accumulates, it silently reshapes him into someone ordinary, disconnected, and afraid to confront himself, The story reflects on avoidance, self-justification, and the fear of accountability, questioning whether we are truly flawed or simply lost. At its core, the film is about self-awareness reminding us that failure is human, but surrendering to our darker side is the real loss.

Long Low Line (Fordland)

Dean extrapolated landscape images from 1920s Ford advertisements, leaving out the cars to focus on their representations of place and nature. She made the animation using a digital version of a multiplane camera technique employed in early Disney films to create an immersive and 3D illusion by separating two-dimensional images. This technique was itself inspired by Ford’s assembly line; Dean uses it to explore historical depictions of the American dream, exaggerating the subject matter’s fantastical style.
