Things

This film was a challenge set by a friend, to make something in my home over the course of the year. Coming from a country where the seasons are very evident, I am interested in how they effect people’s sense of the world, moods, and our understanding and relationship to our environment. These mood changes feed the film – in the Winter section the film is very internal and reflective, looking at the details around the house, and back to the things I’ve collected. In Spring, the atmosphere brightens, there are humans, hands holding a book or drawing, an eye reading. Summer is a mix of both the joy of these things, countered with a sense of unease. Autumn then becomes a further remove of representation of the space I live in, and in an uncertain state–are the walls crumbling around me? Is this the future, partly foretold in Fable, the book read in Spring?
