Days of Judgement
Day of Judgement 2022
Digital, 35mm film, archival prints
Days of Judgement is a side project from The Nocturnal that explores my experiences transitioning between the underground club and ballroom scenes in China. I often envision the DJ as a priest or shaman. At these dimly lit basement parties, a ritual unfolds: the dancers on the floor transform into angels and demons, in trance.
