3. Me and My Little Sister (Sparrooabbán)
Loving someone of the same gender is frowned upon in Sami communities. Sparrooabbán shows what it’s like to be a minority within a minority.

4. Screen (Screen)
“While he mused on the effect of the flowing sands, he was seized from time to time by hallucinations in which he himself began to move with the flow.“ Liminal zones. Floating particles. Fire, water, earth, air. Voices of fictional characters: sometimes suggestive, sometimes strict, leading the viewer away from the here and now. Who's talking? The relationship between the hypnotized subject and the hypnotist is mirrored in the spectator's relationship to the screen.

15. Terminal City
Terminal City records the demolition of the Devonshire Hotel in Vancouver; through extreme show motion and symmetrical diagonal framing, Gallagher underscores the passage from order to chaos within the event.
