A video designed to challenge existing models of AIDS treatment in our society. Using a collage of elements as well as techniques from video and performance, the themes of mourning, urgency & healing are explored in a poetic and highly charged video. Got Away In The Dying Moments suggests natural alternatives to the current treatments and attitudes that constrain our hearts and minds with respect to the AIDS crisis.

Cette vidéo visuellement étonnante remet en question les modèles existants de traitement du SIDA à l'aide d'un collage d'éléments et de techniques de la vidéo et des arts scéniques. Les thèmes du deuil, de l'urgence et de la guérison sont explorés avec poésie et émotion.
Got Away In The Dying Moments suggère des solutions de rechange aux traitements actuels et aux attitudes qui limitent nos coeurs et nos esprits par rapport à la crise du SIDA.
