Marlonsworld is a newly commissioned film by artist and filmmaker Josiane M. H. Pozi for Somerset House Studios' Gallery 31 exhibition Create, Capture, Organise, Pluralise, now available to watch online.
Documenting the mundane daily existence of living bodies, the intimate portrait piece is set against the backdrop of the current global pandemic. Following part-time actor, ice hockey player and nightclub photographer Marlon Williams over the course of a week, the work provokes questions around accountability of self in relation to the pursuit for one’s own happiness.
Having previewed a work in progress excerpt of the work as part of AGM 2020, Pozi presents the final film for Gallery 31, Somerset House Studios' exhibition space platforming work by resident artists and work developed through residency programmes.
