ISLA is a project composed of 3 works created by Natalia Barua & moving image artist Owa Barua. ISLA (I) is a 3-channel video installation, ISLA (II) an expanded cinema performance and ISLA (III) an 11-min single-screen video dance.

The work accesses moments recorded during the artists’ time in Southeast Asia via video diaries. The work explores memory and movement as interlacing subjects, celebrating small moments of beauty and rhythms captured accidentally. ISLA is a meditative attempt at reliving and a personal account about presence and place.
