Limen - United Visual Artists, London 2019.

It included use of 16 audio speakers placed under pools of water to create vibrations. Commissioned by Jo Malone perfumes, the event included 4 separate 'scent rooms' each with musical loops reflecting the individual scents, coalescing to make a harmonious sound-piece when heard in the main room.

Dangerous on-the-way - Mel O'Callaghan, Palais de Tokyo, Paris, 2017
Filmed in North East Borneo to attend a tradition: the harvesting of birds’ nests, a particularly dangerous ritual, performed twice a year by the Orang Sungai people, at a height of over 120 meters – in the “white caves” of Gomantong. The film focuses on the "ekstasis" this ritual induces, the mental state described as being “outside oneself”.
