DMT

HOLYDAY | HOLYDAY is an ongoing documentary project shot in film, from October 2021 onwards. Every day has its own terror and holiness and it is in identifying with the oddities and mundanities that comfort is found.

After a year of nothingness that followed two close interactions with death, I began taking photos again, borrowing my grandfather's film camera. In that year, I had come out as non-binary and realised I was neurodiverse. HOLYDAY is as much a celebration of finding oneself in the small, patterned eccentricities of everyday life, as it is a narrative of processing PTSD. It features a lot of mirrors and glasses, mirroring the curiously reflective nature of the project.

It is photography, not as an answer or a question, but as a place to go when the world is otherwise loud. dmterblanche.com
