Prelude, is a first iteration of an essayistic documentary research on mapping (micro) bodily-landscapes as subjectivities, in search for regenerative eco-systems.
It proposes a future world where you are invited ‘to look around, inhale all the way, expand and contract rhythmically until becoming a soft, sweaty rock, insides out, flirting face off in the flowering coloured lights’*. By combining imageries through the poetics of the cinematic gaze, textuality and sound, this trans-material and trans-physical work hopes to trigger a psychosomatic experience based, with different dynamics of desire.
This multi-screen composition is scored in an iterative circling as a methodology for displacement. Combined with an almost forensic mapping of matter, (e)motional charting soundscape is translated from the ecosystem’s data, rendered by colour temperature, position and opacity, and engages with more-than-human intra-action (s) through generating sound.
