Es Morgan’s intimate online film explores trans embodiment, visibility, being with others and being alone. 

Separated by distance, how might we still feel our bodies meet, or even merge? Es Morgan’s film moves through breath-like cycles in a continuous loop, interweaving textured poetry with movement.   

The work is audio described and captioned.

Join Es Morgan in conversation with Amy Bell on Thursday 24 June.


The film is free to watch online, but you’ll need to book a ticket on The Place’s website. You will then be able to watch the film at any time, and as many times as you like.
