Address – A Toast To Marcelle

Nikolas moves into the apartment of his late aunt, Marcelle, where he begins to paint amid the untouched remnants of her life. This act of creation, delicate and dogged, inside a preserved past acts to blur the boundary between the past and the present, between memory and the now, thereby revealing the tension that exists between loss, legacy and the future.

“Address” investigates a perceived sense of home and refuge through photography, film, and select interviews. In collaboration with Director Mototake Makishima, the personal cosmos of the protagonists transform to build novel narratives of identity, shaped by a conscious rendering of their environment.
