Trichome × Tracey Wong Art Director · Editor 2020

A song,
given a body.

A dance film built around a single track from Trichome — translated into solo choreography with Tracey Wong, captured and cut frame-by-frame to honor the breath of the music.

The Brief

Make a song visible.

Trichome's track had a quiet, breathing quality — the kind of song that resists overstatement. The brief was simple: build a piece of film that lets the music live in a body, not on top of one.

No narrative scaffolding, no second performer, no editorial trickery. One dancer, one room, one track — and a visual language patient enough to let the choreography do the talking.

"The cut had to follow the breath of the music — not chase it, not shape it, just match it."

My Role

Concept, frame, and cut.

I art-directed and edited the film — shaping the visual language around Tracey Wong's choreography, locking the look on set, and cutting the final film to the rhythm of the track rather than to commercial pacing.

Concept

Built the visual concept around the track itself — single performer, controlled environment, no narrative overlay. Collaborated with Tracey Wong to keep the choreography legible on camera without flattening it.

Art Direction

Locked the visual palette, wardrobe, and frame language — choices made to keep attention on movement and breath, not on production polish. Restraint as the design principle.

Edit

Cut the film to the music's internal pacing — letting phrases land, holding shots past the comfortable moment, trusting the dancer to carry the duration. The edit is the choreography's second pass.
