15-minute, single-channel film & sound work

Part of ongoing SALT series.

A speculative fiction work set in a salty world, at first, and then is a collage of photographs, moving image and sound. Part of a continuing project looking at a future world, parallel, time alternate, dimension, through a salted lens, set in an over-salinated beach town. With a queer approach and a nod to 1960s French New Wave cinema, the work layers a 35-voice choir with crawling digital sounds, harking to sci-fis from the past, projecting somewhere into the future.

Camera, editing and sound by Joanne Matthews with production and editing assistance from Kathryn Cutler-Mackenzie.

The work was commissioned by Art Walk Porty, originally exhibited at Mote102 in 2023 with Art Walk Projects and streamed on Map Magazine.
