Clip description
Janine (Lille Madden) has been brought by her foster parents (Zoe Carides and Richard Sydenham) to meet her biological mother (Lily Shearer) and her family for the first time. The new circumstances are overwhelming, and being spoken to, spoken about and spoken for all at once, takes its toll on Janine.
Curator’s notes
With all eyes on Janine, she freezes. This existential moment is captured through the slow shutter speed of the camera to emulate the blur of family members and discussion around her.
