Synopsis

Room 19 shares my emotional experience of the space that I live in temporally in Oxford - the 19th space I have lived in since 2001. Inspired by Doris Lessing’s collected stories To Room Nineteen (1978), which addresses the historical context of women’s rights and their role in a conservative London society of the time, I draw on Lessing’s use of psychological realism and colour to reveal my contradictory and complex emotions, such as anxiety, freedom, and stability, that I feel as an Asian women living in the UK. Using a minimalist aesthetic I film my space using the duration image, the static frame and small intimate gestures to create a sense of tension, time and memory within the images.
