The World Came Flooding In (work in progress )
The World Came Flooding In is currently in production, due for release in 2025..
The World Came Flooding In is an immersive documentary that transports viewers into liminal memory spaces to investigate the lived experience of the climate emergency through flooding.
Through audio interviews and the recreating of lost domestic spaces in virtual space, we reveal the processes of grief and recovery that inhabit the psyche long after the initial impact of flooding has dispersed.
Over the course of 2022 in Australia we watched as river after river broke its bank in a crescendo of massive rainstorms. The country was already saturated from a couple of years of La Niña and it seemed as if every second town was receiving warnings for a ‘100 year flood’ event. Each year since then has brought new unexpected natural disasters to the doorsteps of people around the country.
It has become commonplace to see vast sections of country on fire at the same time as destructive winds tear through communities and floods destroy both rural and urban environments.
These extreme disasters are coming faster and reaching further each time.
