The multi-disciplinary project which includes 16mm film, prosthetics, text, sound and performance-based works, draws on the classical myth of Daphne; the nymph who transformed into a laurel tree in order to escape being raped by the god Apollo.

​

In Metamorph, this narrative – which is traditionally interpreted as resulting in Daphne’s ‘eternal silence or loss of self’ – is reframed through a queer, transcultural and multi-species lens, to consider alternative interpretations around agency in their becoming-tree, and their relationship to landscape.
