Your ankles are not swollen, you have an appetite, you sleep well, you're not tired all the time ... you don't feel the persistent need to pee poking at you from the inside out. You're healthy. You have healthy kidneys ... and then you don't.
In Renality, Katrina Belanger creates a documentary-inspired self portrait of her journey with kidney disease. The documentary, voiced by Katrina herself, allows for a deeply personal journey with the artist and her story. She was faced with the truth of her mortality at the age of 11. The rhythmic isolation of her story through voice over and imagery illuminates the deeply human experience of suffering that often brings with it loneliness or alienation from health, function, and others.
