Grace Ribeiro

‘out of breath’ reflects on Ribeiro’s personal experience of anxiety and life during lockdown. The film incorporates a specially commissioned music score and extracts from diary entries on panic attacks and walking. Accompanying postcards feature a poetic text on the mental (and physical) journey that Ribeiro undergoes when dealing with her anxiety. Ribeiro invites the audience to reflect on their own experiences in natural spaces. Both film and postcards offer something calming, a mediative moment, capturing the beauty of Surrey parkland and scenes that provide a sense of security for herself as an anxious person.
