This Rented Shell by David Gardener

"This Rented Shell" is a poetic exploration of memory, both intimate and collective. Spoken poetry, evocative images and sound design combine with animation to create an immersive space where memory is felt and seen. Are memories ours alone, or do we exist as curators of inherited histories? David Gardener asks this fundamental question in this poetic and anthropological meditation on time, identity and the human experience. Memory itself takes shape as a "rented shell" housing personal and shared experiences. Initially presented as an immersive performance, the work will later be shown as a fulldome projection film.
