Sinopsis
An old ceramic jar from my parentâs house. Images of places its presence brings. A study of object and place.âAn emotion was there, rather than an idea. A way of being with an object.A film which begins and ends with similar images; experience, rather than resolution.A ceramic jar I remember from my parentâs house. Now in their nineties, they have been shedding objects for some time. It came from my motherâs family, so quite soon, there is an image of a landscape near Rotterdam. About object, and place.Most of the âsequencesâ or âsectionsâ are filmic intuitive âthoughtsâ, sometimes just a pairing of images. Some edited in camera, some edited later. And there are a few pauses; dark no image time. Words define and circumscribe, images open and go outwards. An image reverberates in different ways to words; non verbal, physical.There is just the film.âPT
