Interbeing
The film "Interbeing" is based on a non-linear documentation of social structures and their different approaches to trust and fear. The material is presented through a thermal camera whose optics do not register what is visible to the eye but render shades of temperature. A perspective granting all living beings the same conditions of representation. Through elements of repetition and by the use of an almost constant sound of one note against a returning image of an eye or a black sun, the film travel from one element to another. The camera makes use of a heat shadow visible upon and after physical touch, the heat remains, like traces of utmost commonality in attempts at making direct contact, as well as in public, everyday chance encounters.
