Overview
“All beings rise from non-being. Before forms, before names, there is the beginning of all things.” — Dao De Jing Drawing from hand-processed 35mm stills, the film unfolds through overlapping spaces and temporalities. The images are gathered over several years among the waters, rocks, and vegetation of the Pacific Rim before chemical transformations reconfigure their geographical origins. They are brought together through morphological resonances and underlying material affinities, in which textures, rhythms, and structures echo across distant places. Turning away from recognizable landscapes, familiar forms drift between identification and abstraction as distinctions between near and far, micro and macro, figure and ground gradually erode.
