Uncensored Lilac


Uncensored Lilac – A story about revenge and desire, Uncensored Lilac questions the ways in which climate change affects and alters social and environmental relations. The film follows a group of goddesses, who may or may not be aliens, and their assembly of familiars, pets, servants, and technologies. Set in a dreamlike hallucinatory landscape that mutates between ornate embellishments and its original form, the landscape and the assembly have been invaded and altered by a toxic species, making them nurturing but venomous

A group of goddesses and their assembly of familiars, pets, servants, and technologies are lounging. Separated from one another, they share a land but not a common ground. They have been invaded. They are pretty, hot, bothered, and bored. They are ready to destroy each other. They look deep into the camera and recite their deepest wishes, hopes, dreams, and fantasies. Meanwhile, temperatures are rising. They morph and grow and make their rage known. Quick to anger, their tempers rise with the heat.


This work is deeply rooted in the default architectures of CGI software and their overwhelming whiteness. The pre-set bodies that populate digital space, smooth, symmetrical, racially unmarked yet unmistakably coded, become the base material from which these goddesses emerge. Inheriting the biases of these programs, the figures occupy a landscape already colonized by aesthetic standardization. Their beauty is not neutral, it is templated. This default whiteness mirrors the film’s climate of invasion and estrangement, a world where even fantasy is pre-formatted, where desire is engineered through consumer software, and where power circulates through the metrics of hotness. The goddesses’ simmering rage, their isolation, and their readiness to destroy one another are entangled with this digital inheritance. They are born from systems that flatten difference while promising infinite customization. As temperatures rise, so too does the pressure of this inherited normativity, until the very defaults begin to fracture, morph, and revolt.
