‘oneminuteglitches’ is a collection of one-minute video-poems navigating anxiety, vulnerability, and a loss of control.

Each poem is made to feel like a diary entry, designed to exist within the constraints of an Instagram video post – i.e. they are one minute long, have a 1:1 aspect ratio, and contain abstract animation and a glitchy musical aesthetic which is just as expressive under file compression.

The claustrophobic nature of these constraints is used to create tension between the speaker’s need for self-expression, and the limitations imposed by digital communication technology.

The film was produced between February and April 2020 using free software and free online file editors.
