barometer

Barometer explores crying as an embodied, pedagogical, and affective practice- an intimate forecast of pressure, vulnerability, and somatic resistance. Working within feminist materialist and affect theory (Barad, Alaimo & Hekman, Cvetkovich, Lorde, Anzaldúa), the work positions crying not as excess but as method- a liquid syntax that leaks through the dam of composure and remakes knowledge in its flow. This is not a linear methodology, Barometer offers a porous practice where emotion is neither excess nor epiphenomenon, but method, memory, and movement. This film invites viewers into a space where crying is sensed rather than explained- a pedagogy of salt and silence, a porous research form, and a soft act of resistance.
