Akeem Brandon - Second Nature
(KCM, Moreno Valley)
The destruction of the Black man’s psyche and the drastic changes of his immediate surroundings that it triggers tend to reveal methods and understandings that is too great to put together, minuscule to take apart and dissect, and desensitized enough about inner pain to not bother with care. Committed to the ever-venture of emotional intelligence, Akeem Brandon’s most transparent and unearthing work to date encompasses a daring narrative.
Second Nature is an hypnotic 68 page film study that fluctuates between the intensities of life. From the microcosm of the emotional mind to the macrocosm of decisions you’ve made for self to be, and defining the journey between the transformation. Brandon spent years documenting the variety of routes taken to find peace, understanding and enlightenment spanning across the country. Brandon strives to capture and illustrate intangible emotions on tangible media: via half frame 35mm analogue format that allows Brandon to document the small details of everyday passing life to the large details of just being while living.
