Forma is a contemporary arts organisation based in Southwark, London. Driven by artists and their ideas, they develop collaborative interdisciplinary projects that challenge existing practices, span multiple artistic disciplines and demand new levels of ambition.

Artists Film International 2025: Dream States — the 18th edition of Artists Film International — commenced on 3 March 2025 with a visionary programme of artists’ moving image. Exploring dreaming as both a transformative state and a radical act. The films in Dream States challenge perceptions of reality and open pathways to alternative futures. Curated by Forma with 16 cultural institutions across four continents. Presented in diverse formats, including exhibitions, festivals, and screenings, AFI’25 unfolds across the partners’ venues throughout 2025, guiding global audiences through mythic worlds, dystopian landscapes, fractured memories, and speculative possibilities.

To photograph this show was another one of those challenges where I only had a couple of hours to scout angles and take photos, as the show was up for just one night and half a day. I worked closely with one of the curators, Rebecca Edwards to discuss desired outcomes, and the best possible way to represent soft enclosures in the space of FormaHQ.
