A film constructed based on a game of chance and a collection of encounters in workshops and homes in the city of Rome. Although the protagonists never appear together, they are inextricably bound by their actions — meaning is conveyed through movement and its associated sound, slowly forming a visual exploration of physicality. The Demands of Ordinary Devotion invites a reflection on the process of making, the prospect of motherhood, and uncertainties in creation, balance and composition.

Some shapes can only be known by their shadow. In memory of the first space-dogs, or any other beings sacrificed in the name of progress. This video was made by invitation of composer Olivia Block for the release of her album Innocent Passage in the Territorial Sea (Room40).

Constant is a journey through the social and political history of measurement. For most of recorded history, the human body was the measure of all things. Constant asks what led measuring to forgo the body and become a science unto itself. The film explores three shifts in the history of measurement standardization, from the land surveying that drove Early Modern European land privatization, to the French Revolution that drove the Metric Revolution, to the conceptual dematerialisation of measurement in the contemporary era of Big Science. Each chapter traces the relationship of measurement standardization to ideas of egalitarianism, agency, justice, and power. Cinematic and technical images that begin as products of measurement systems are stretched beyond their functions and reflect the resistance of lived experience to symbolic abstractions.
