short experimental film, 2019
Producer, Director, Writer, Cinematographer, Editor
Home Abyss is an experimental personal essay film – an exploration of a home space and a body within it. Madden places themselves within the abyss of their home through projections, layered images, repetition, the use of both new and personal archival material, poetic voiceover, and a pulsing soundtrack. This creates a meditation on the different shapes home and body space can take. This story of home and isolation was made right before the COVID-19 pandemic which gave it new relevance as many were/are experiencing the rippling psychological and emotional effects of isolation and place/body relationship.
