TRANSIT

Shot between Berlin and Quebec City in the middle of Covid, TRANSIT, created from snippets of life and archival footage, follows the unlikely journey of a seemingly ordinary object. TRANSIT explores the state of being always on the move between different places, and is in a way a metaphor for transformation.
