16mm color film with sound | Spain

This film explores how visual and sonic perception conditions our understanding of time and space. Shot along a 400-meter stretch of wooden fence on the Galician coastline in northern Spain, the film engages the rhythms that shape the way we see and feel time. The film is composed of lateral tracking shots that transform the banal geometry of a roadside fence into a shifting, tactile plane. 

It is my attempt to put into practice what philosopher R. G. Collingwood describes, in relation to Paul Cézanne’s open air paintings, as “landscapes that have lost almost every trace of visuality.” Fences never look as they appear in STILL MOVING that is how they feel to me, when I encounter them with my camera.
