Set within a boxing ring, the BOXedOUT unfolds as a high-intensity duet where dance and boxing share the same physical logic. The film traces a continuous negotiation between precision and impact, turning the language of boxing into a structured, rhythmic score for two bodies in relation.

Presented as a multi-channel installation at MPavilion 2023 (designed by Tadao Ando), each screen operates as a separate “round,” fragmenting and extending the temporal logic of the match across space.

BOXedOUT was supported by the City of Melbourne Arts Grants Program and MPavilion.
