synopsis
The hexagon as a perfect shape appearing in nature and architecture and at the same time a metaphor for historical processes and colonial oppression. This cinematic essay explores the hexagon from multiple perspectives, using archival and original footage to create provocative parallels between seemingly unrelated phenomena.“Being born under the sign of the hexagon / it’s not the best thing we’re doing these days.”
