Language: English
Digital footage of the river near the filmmaker’s childhood home is laser-printed directly onto 16mm film, creating a shifting, liquified halftone. Memory dissolves into the texture of time. The printing bleeds onto the optical sound strip, the image obscuring the soundtrack. The landscape is impossible to return to.

A travelogue breaks against the landscape.
Roads fall into the sea and a travelogue breaks against the landscape. Writing and image fail. The film attempts to find a way to inhabit the margin between place and passage, between experience and representation. If a physical space can’t be represented as text, can text itself become a physical space?
