Knowing that imagination and reality inform one another, Lotus Eater thematically pairs fiction and nonfiction work to explore unsung connections, inciting reflection of the forces around us.

Turning on a film, regardless of when or where it takes place, should transport one to the land of the Lotus Eaters - where consumption can lead to clarity.

  • Lotus Eater's fiction work looks to feed the creative mind; as our imagination informs our reality, our shared fiction informs our world.

  • Lotus Eater’s experimental nonfiction seeks to reveal truth; by posing more questions than answers, these immersive works place a premium on deliberation over distraction.

'THE APOLOGISTS ALWAYS INSIST THAT THE LOTUS MADE THEM FORGET ABOUT THEIR JOURNEY HOME, AND OF COURSE IT DOES THAT, BUT WE PREFER TO SAY THAT THE LOTUS HELPED THEM COME INTO THE PRESENT MOMENT. THEY STOPPED HAVING FLASHBACKS TO THE WAR, THEY STOPPED DAYDREAMING ABOUT A TOWN THEY HADN’T SEEN FOR YEARS, AND THEY NOTICED WHAT WAS GOING ON RIGHT THEN, RIGHT THERE.'
