An ongoing project that seeks to navigate the city of Toronto psychogeographically using popular films to propel the narrative forward. Relying on films’ inherent unfaithfulness to geography, a few dialogue cues, and a great deal of coincidence, scenes from disparate films intersect and redirect each other to follow geographic patterns rather than their individual stories. Compositing closely cropped professional footage over wide-angle, contemporary video allows for the emergence of a disjointed document that captures the growth of a city over several decades; distilling a small amount of truth from a growing library of fiction.
Blending science and poetry, the narrator reveals lost aromatic landscapes and memories.

Part of a wider cross-disciplinary research project exploring aroma sensing and electronic nose technologies and ways in which they might assimilate into our cities to sense atmospheric information. The script shifts from molecular precision to poetic abstraction, blurring technology and human perception in a speculative language of memories coded in aroma.

The dialogue heard in the background is based on a correspondence that has taken place since 2021 between visual artist Miia Autio and Beninese medium and traditional healer Koffi Robert Djossou. Through this exchange, the artist seeks to explore a worldview unfamiliar to her – that of Vodun, the world’s largest nature-based religion. The work is a dive into Vodoun’s invisible realm and into questions concerning the relationship between belief, images, and reality. The pursuit of the invisible world initiated a personal process for the artist, in which various messages, dreams, and whispers of wind began, almost of their own accord, to carry the story forward.

The film presents gaps as institutional tools that reproduce exclusivity (after Sara Ahmed). Combining critical theory with narratives of marginalization and discrimination gathered through research interviews, the essay film offers an intersectional understanding of how whiteness is actively reproduced in our everyday environments. In addition to outlining the cultural-historical context of Finland, the film highlights the Academy of Fine Arts at the Uniarts Helsinki as a case study—examining the gap between its outwardly promoted policies and the reality of their implementation, as well as the institution’s exclusionary culture and discriminatory practices, drawing from the lived experiences of marginalized students.
