Contingent Horizons

08:15 min video Contingent Horizons was made when physical horizons were constrained yet information received about the world beyond what was immediate to us was overwhelming and often hard to decipher. The film charts a journey, walking at dawn, taking the most direct route to four points each three miles due North, East, South and West from home. Hierarchies of dimensions and perception are considered from speculative perspectives that seek to discover, imagine or theorize what lies beyond the limits of knowledge. Constantly changing ephemeral landscapes begin to lose form and clarity as the horizon approaches; breaking down into contour lines and foliations. The decomposition of shape into lines and circles and obfuscating patterns reflects the difficulty we have not only trying to see what is beyond our horizons but how we interpret the world around us and what information we trust.
