“Elemental Vision or a film for the rest of my life" is 'about' light and time - moments captured in their passing, light events shot in various rhythmic patterns. It is about light and not particularly about the objects lit. The congruence of film's basic properties with how we experience reality (in time/motion, through light) has been a guiding factor in my approach to filmmaking. Of course, there are people and other natural subjects filmed - incorporated -coming into view - a surprise. Intertitles mark sections, create pauses and breaks. They come from various sources suggestive of film terminology and of different visions of being, many ways of knowing the world - scientific, poetic/spiritual, and everyday-ish.
