In Light Years Apart (2021-2025), Fula, an interdimensional being, wraps time and space to travel between parallel dimensions. The film, an interactive science fiction, investigates varying processes of 'looking' and 'engagement' within cinematic spectatorship. Utilizing biometric data and computer vision technology, the film posits multiple trajectories within a branching narrative structure, drawing a distinction and, inversely, muddying the boundaries between Fula's interiority and a male-centered white gaze. To "see" Fula necessitates the labored process of conscious reorientation. The spectator's gaze pilots the narrative's copious terrain, altering the context and organization of what is seen. This fosters an embodied awareness, a provocation in cinematic spectatorship that activates a critical lens in both real and imagined space.
