Alex & I: Moving Pictures (2016) is a short essayistic video that follows images circulating in the aftermath of the civil war in Sri Lanka, 2009. The video recalls the (mis)adventures of a controversial Tamil refugee and media figure Sanjeev ‘Alex’ Kuhendrarjah, who for a period of time characterised a borderscape that spanned Australia, Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Canada. It charts pictures of Alex circulating across networks and the consequences of images going offline and into ‘real life.’ This video closes the first chapter of an ongoing collaborative research project, Alex & I (2013–2018).
