Commander is a performance art film exploring relationality, poetic ecology, and control. Set in a timespace where historical past meets speculative future, Colonel Pike encounters hybrid beings (animal-human) in a shingle interzone. He observes their bioculture - a process of freedom and 'non-identity'. Paralysed by naivety Pike is alienated and becomes the subject of perverse ritual. This film was made in collaboration with performance artist and costume designer Florent Venet.
