leaving the tributary explores liquidity, intimacy and affect, and the unfurling connotations with time and damp interiors due to the energy/climate crisis and poor housing infrastructure. The film combines footage of the river Wandle in South London alongside a scene in which a lover/friend wakes up in a bed of water inside a dark room. A figure is searching along the river at night and in the daytime, discovering fly-tipped garbage and the mechanical noises of factories including the Wandsworth National Grid.
