Amiel’s three channel work OKC was shot in Oklahoma in 2015 and grew out of a series of ongoing documentary works unfurling as dual slow-motion portraits of a small community forced to live in a hurricane-ravaged environment.

These moving-image installation pieces are like the half remembered dreams of this incident of environmental violence - temporary, incomplete worlds in which gaps and holes are exposed, like the gnostic vision of the world as created by a less than successful half-god that we must find a way of escaping.
