Its low resolution, grainy aesthetic mirrors the building’s derelict condition, intensifying the immersive experience. Using only natural lighting, along with carefully framed compositions, the film draws attention to the asylum’s peeling paint, endless corridors, and traces of its forgotten patients.

11:59

11:59 both explores and subverts traditional cinematic conventions, much of which now resides in the collective unconscious of the audience. 

Drawing on the aesthetic and structural elements of psychological thrillers and horror films, 11:59 constructs a multi-layered narrative that plays with familiar tropes and expectations. 

These cinematic cues are not simply referenced but recontextualised, inviting the viewer into an active dialogue with the film and its characters.

11:59 is presented as a four screen video installation.
