Em Butler ︎


Em (M) is a filmmaker, performer, and writer whose work reflects an obsession with the ways a body absorbs memory.



Digging, unearth, to bury, to transform, a treasure, a semblance, remembering, the ants, the eyes, a thought, a wing, to air, for her, tied together, closely but never the same. A loud sound, the ground above, a found string, the time apart, a moving limb, a single tie, the time apart, flying doves land in a window on the outside edge of a new place that feels like fire.
