Disorientation = loss of the East draws its title from Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses. It is a 6 minute video that explores the adventures of the Sorceress-Princess Vilayet, who leaves home in search of Chhaya, the land of changing shadows but finds that once there, she can never return home.
Disorientation is a simple fairytale constructed with intertitles that transposes the loss of the self concomitant with migration and exile into more mythical and fantastic terms.
