- Transit - 2020

Technically you're spectating humans from a distance, socially distancing, in transit.

Aren't we always in transit? Cycling to work, wondering to the kettle, rushing to the shop, on the train taking a call, or even surfing along a wave. You're constantly going somewhere, adapting and learning without even knowing it.

Location - All over Portugal

Filmed entirely on the DJI Mavic Air 2. Cut and colored with Adobe Premiere Pro.

A film from a series of strike missions in 2019. - What is a strike mission? - A mission with the primary purpose of locating and attacking targets of opportunity. In surfing our target of opportunity is locating swell (usually within a few days prior travel) and surgically striking a spot for good old fashion wave sliding fun. My film showcases a variety of footage from all over Oman as well as a tiny Island in the southern atolls of the Maldives. All shot on the DJI Mavic Air, Sony Alpha A6500 and a GoPro Hero8 Music by Chamath Bandara - @bailacurry � Special thanks to everyone who helped me along the journey and thanks to the Indian Ocean for providing!

A question of identity that never arises until it is called into question is that of the home. It forms a seemingly stable and unwavering part of personal history, the fickleness of this stability only becoming apparent when the prospect of leaving or losing your home becomes a reality. Helen Teede explores the relationship between home and identity in her exhibition, “Unhomed.” The title, a word borrowed from Homi K Bhabha, through Freud, refers to “that species of the frightening that goes back to what was once well known and had long been familiar.” Going through the process of leaving her home permanently, her paintings evoke the uncanny moment when a seemingly safe and stable place suddenly becomes something other and outside, traversing a fine line between the familiar and the terrifying. Fragments of her personal life enter and become a part of the discourse of migration and displacement, a discourse intimately connected with violence, that occupies a major part of recent world history. While the process is fraught with uncertainty, it speaks to a shared humanity, fostering a commitment to be of a place and of a time that makes genuine tolerance and reconciliation possible.
 
Helen Teede's paintings tell a fragile story of disentanglement and severance from the place in which she grew up. “Unhomed” is an exhibition comprising a deeply personal body of work that at the same time speaks to a wider discourse of loss, dislocation and identity both in Zimbabwe and in the world today.
