Eternity in a Millisecond
Mallika Dharmaj
A product of the HeyHuman! Residency at Domestic Data Streamers in Barcelona, ETERNITY IN A MILLISECOND was conceptualized as a mixed-media video installation around the hyper-visibility of trans bodies of color within surveillance states, and what the camera cannot capture – the infinite moments in which trans bodies dance, sparkle, and “go dark.”
