Created shortly after going through a harrowing and transformative personal experience, Visions is a fragmentary work whose elements are interconnected by threads of light. Emerging from a variety of dreams, memories and visions lived under heavy doses of opioid analgesics during a hospitalisation, Visions is a meeting between the natural and the synthetic, dreams and reality, a poetic exploration of the thin line between transience and permanence.
Inspired by a performance of Toru Takemitsu's composition "Corona: For Pianist(s)", A Slippage In Five Movements is a visual immersion into the graphic score and its musical performance, revealing the unfamiliar landscapes and silences that emerge from the pianist's gestures and the architecture of the piano itself.
Set to Nico Georis' reimagined version of Terry Riley's 1969 record, this film is comprised of experimental 8mm footage achieved through 100% analog film techniques, without digital alteration. The film-making process was tactile; shot through hand-cut mattes, prisms, and colored and kaleidoscopic filters to create physical constraints that bend and channel light through mechanical, spring-wound cameras. Each frame is embedded with devotion to cosmic light; an homage to ROYGBIV imprinted on film in spectral array.
