Nine-video, box-set - running time 9 hours 27 minutes. Welcome to Shimmistra and the world of Elphen, for which I am privileged to be the sole chronicler, through my artworks and writings. This nine-video box-set records the happening of one particular earth-time night, from when Fizz lays her head down to sleep, to when she awakes in the morning, wondering – was it all but a dream?"
