This work is a mosaic film, shot on Hi-8 and 16mm stock, developed by hand and, buried in the soil, and then colored with inks. The camera takes in objects, plants, a landscape, bodies, a stretch of water, the air, wind. The scenes are short, often framed as close-ups. This unfurling of furtive moments, enigmatic spaces and blazing light plays out like a series of disorientations, sustained by a soundtrack that is every bit as rich and sensual. The soundscape resonates with poetic echoes of the shimmering visuals: a fragmented universe unabashedly embraced in the title of the work. (Nicole Gingras)
