Waiting All Night

DirectorAkwaeke Emezi

2014
5 min

Incorporating intertext as narration, this piece features a subject whose lover (a spirit/priest) has left them. Rather than accept this loss, the subject makes a square in the grass and summons the priest into their backyard, trapping it. In this work, both the one who has left and the one who has been left serve as self-portrait proxies.
