foryouforme, 2025, film-essay, colour, sound, 10 min. 

Based on the research-creation project ‘Practicing Anti-happiness with Luce Irigaray’, developed with Eftihia Mihelakis.

Anti-happiness is not the opposite of happiness, but a counter-practice: a way of being with discomfort rather than resisting it. Fire arises as desire and connection, but also as shared concern, a form of ecological melancholy, asking: how do we visualize internal and psychic temporalities of discomfort? Embracing an ecology of imaging, this film re-members my archive of performances, videos, and footage (2021–2025), linking it to a collective reading of Luce Irigaray’s essay, “Sharing the Fire: Outline of a Dialectics of Sensitivity” (2019). Through this interweaving, text and image are recontextualized destabilizing finality.

sound: Konstantina Tsagianni

Screened at the 15th Meeting of the Luce Irigaray Circle, online conference, 4-6 July, 2025.

Why did you punish yourself again,Oedipus?, 2021, experimental film, colour, sound, 03:53 min.

An experimental reading of Sophocles’ tragedy Oedipus Rex unfolds through a series of actions that connect myth with memory, personal narrative and visual imagery (particularly the paintings of Marc Chagall). Invited to engage with questions that emerge from reading Oedipus, Laisul Hoque extends this inquiry through the act of “blinding himself” through the practice of mask-making. The work becomes an attempt to reconsider Oedipal structures by inhabiting discomfort and vulnerability, and by searching for an ethics of inclination, one that can only emerge through the presence of the other.
