Holding-Still-Holding-Still-Holding is a collection of three video portraits, each depicting a person maintaining a position. As each video progresses, the central figure adds a series of objects to create physical support, inviting a range of formal and visual associations.
Holding-Still-Holding-Still-Holding is part of a project called House Services which was developed in resistance to terms of austerity in the UK. It explores the many networks of support that sustain our individual and social bodies, the points at which they collide, and the promise they hold. House Services includes the live work Carareretetatakakekerers (2021).
