2024With Creative Recovery Inverclyde, we created a film in collaboration with participants of Your Voice Recovery that explored the five senses as a way of getting closer to ourselves and to each other. Through gentle, attentive filming of touch, sound, sight, taste, and smell, we invited participants to reconnect with their own bodies and the world around them, fostering a sense of presence and care. This collaborative process allowed us to slow down and notice small, often overlooked details — the texture of hands, the rustle of leaves, the warmth of shared tea — transforming simple moments into profound acts of connection and recovery.

ELINA BRY is French/Finnish, Glasgow based multidisciplinary artist and award-winning filmmaker. They work across video, storytelling and live performance, and is interested at listening to and re-staging the malfunctions of the human body. They are curious about the body as a sentient arena; as a responsive tool and as a protagonist of an everyday drama. By that, they investigate the known, model it and work in collaboration with the instability of their body. It is essential that they don't cause any harm as they want to challenge their body with the everyday, in order to give a stage and witness what is already there.
The thematic undercurrents of ecology and slow travel prominently weave through their artistic endeavours. Through their multidisciplinary approach, they seek to unravel the nuanced interplay between the human form and its environment, exploring the intricacies of the body while maintaining a conscientious connection to ecological and sustainable principles.
