The Sound of Breathing 2012

Directed by Erin Weisgerber · 6 min

Engage in the ancient practice, of patching together, moving and bending with ease

The cinematic translation of a poem, The Sound of Breathing is part dance film, part cine-poem. Shot and edited on 16mm black and white stock, the film is re-photographed on an optical printer and crudely hand-processed in buckets. The resulting images present a tension between representational depth and film surface.
