Short Film
This film explores ideas of therapeutic infrastructure, tourism and the body as archive. Drawing on the history of the town of Bray as a place of leisure and relaxation, the film positions the human body in this now defunct place of relaxation, a demolished sea bathing pool. A saxophonist sets the tone while the actors create intimate moments of dialogue in this public space.
