Director‘s Statement
A single unrelenting shot examines the relationships between individual and authority, costume and power. In the forest and in abandoned buildings an absurd game is played between people. The principle theme of land and housing justice is examined through multi-dimensional sound design and symbolic imagery.
Using purely audiovisual elements, this work attempts to induce a state of dreamlike hypnosis. Lights, characters, sound, and architecture coalesce into a narrative; an object offers a symbolic representation of an island. As night and day intertwine, light and shadow along with audio effects are used to shatter assumptions regarding the linearity of time, and new dialectical and imaginative possibilities are born.
