"Candy" depicts a longing for something that’s been taken away from you. In an attempt to recreate a vivid dream from my childhood, I use various video techniques to construct a hazy quality. Why has such a nonsensical dream stuck with me for so many years? At the time it simply seemed related to the upcoming Halloween celebrations. I was a child who wanted candy. Now, when I think of the dream my relationship with candy is more complex. Taste is a powerful sense that can trigger specific memories. In "Candy" I explore a longing to relive these fleeting memories. Léonore Thellend, starring as the little girl reaches for what she can’t have. If she could just taste the candy again, she could relive precious moments. But no matter how hard she tries these moments cannot be recreated. What memories are you trying to relive?
