A film within a film that explores love in all its painful and messy glory. Six months ago Zoe and Mal fell for each other while filming a love scene, which led to an intense, whirlwind affair, followed by a devastating breakup. Soon after their split, things get complicated when the two have to meet on set once more to re-shoot that fateful sequence.

Commissioned by Chunky Move, this playfully experimental work traverses ritual, body modification and algorithms. Fragmented bodies, talking rams and drones surveilling every gyration. Blending dance, film, digital animation and artist dialogue, and commissioned as part of Chunky Move’s Activators series, the nostalgic-futurist Bonanza! is a lament for our physical bodies and an exaltation of digital reincarnation.
