Pieces of a single vista, filmed through holes and crevices, are assembled and reassembled, sifted through like in the card game “Memory,” and pieced together like a jigsaw puzzle. A composition of circles, squares, and moving forms is created as the fragments are revealed over and over in a search for a constant horizon and continuity in the imagery. The piece hints at certain contradictions related to perception, memory, and recording, as well as the disorienting futility and comfort of simulations and reconstructions.
The audio composition consists of field recordings made of the auditory constituents of this scene, both under water as well as on land. The sounds of mussels and crabs, wind and waves, bells, water birds, and a single rope that is pushed and pulled over and over by the incoming tide, are combined with little regard for temporal or geographical constraints. A memory that would otherwise be forgotten is pieced together and begins to form.
