Might a form of drone feminism applied to migrations from cinema to installation spaces enable us to consider spectatorial inter- activity as a kind of looping or entanglement within practices of feminist storytelling? Why the f*ck am I making long-form documentaries when other ways of working are so much more energizing? I really want to do the installation project of hanging screens in a warehouse.

Published in catalogue, Laura Poitras: Astro Noise after an exhibition of the same name by Poitras at the Whitney Museum, New York.
