Ben Joseph Andrews

House Unmoored


House Unmoored is an intimate portrait of artist Ben Joseph Andrews’ experience of vestibular migraine: a chronic condition that unsettles balance, catalyses false movements and transforms the world into a porous exchange between human and more-than-human forces.

Exploring an emergent aesthetics of motion misperception, this multi-channel film materialises the relentless turbulence of vestibular migraine through a series of projections onto draped cloth. The animation of the film is driven by data from the artist’s migraine journal. By documenting the movement and distortion of his migraine activity, Andrews is able to reflect upon these encounters and share them with audiences in a unique multisensory environment.
