Bartell X Bailey = Ārka
Artist and film director Leila Bartell has been working with model, photographer and British Vogue contributing editor Laura Bailey to investigate the human experience. Their medium of choice is dance, the perfect way to interpret the mind and soul.
Leila Bartell defines Ārka
“A visceral exploration of one’s consciousness, this film dives into the head of a timeless heroine. We witness the torment caused by a contradiction between the mind and the soul, and the formation of her infinite being.
Inspired by the idea of transcending one’s inner limitations and written with Laura Bailey in mind, the character in our film has the intensity and strong presence that Laura naturally possesses, and this is echoed powerfully in her performance.”
Watch heroine Laura Bailey transform in this beautiful filmed work of art.
Bodies vibrate, energies shatter as a tortured soul transcends her inner limitations.
