Our Sea is Always Hungry (2018) is a single-channel video work that continues Leyla Stevens’ exploration of the space between documentary and fiction. Focusing on traces of Indonesia's 1965—66 anti-communist killings, the film explores how 1965 today is both remembered and forgotten in Bali. Connecting several historical trajectories around political violence, tourism, the Wallace Line, Gunung Agung, and spirits who inhabit the natural world, the film considers alternative archives that are embedded within the landscape.
