Dying Under Your Eyes, 27 minutes, single channel, 2019

 

Dying Under Your Eyes explores the sudden death of Daniel, the artist’s elderly father, in 2018. The film unravels the processes of ageing, dying, grief and intimate surveillance as witnessed on Ashery’s smart phone. Like a detective, Dying Under Your Eyes follows the circumstances leading to Daniel’s death, alongside otherworldly rituals of beckoning, mourning, devotion and play performed by two family members.
