Passage, 2016

Single channel video

7 minute loop

Passage was filmed while on an expedition to Antarctica. Through its manipulated footage, soundscape and fragmentary spoken word, the work explores a world in a state of constant flux: alive, in a state of cyclical becoming, from life to death to rebirth, tracing a continual edge. Much like our own lives, the planet's life, the sun, solar system and the universe; all moving in harmonious orbits with the same end in sight. Yet, as it heats up and the ice melts, the world is perhaps at the end of a cycle, at a key transitional moment, and within this we, as humans, simultaneously exist in a transitional moment of the self through our reconciliation with this changing environment.
