Cows enter a milking parlour in the early morning. As their milk is sucked away, a cataclysmic storm builds on the horizon. Under the onslaught of wind and rain, summer disappears. A meteorologist investigates the bizarre shift in the weather. He follows his equipment through the dark and wintry landscape and arrives at the farm where the cows were milked, but nothing remains of the animals. He begins a more precise investigation, but the results are inconclusive. In such miserable and remorseless weather, how can he measure reality?

The Names of Things

Director
A bed-bound woman's year passes as a day: her time is no longer measured by the increments of a clock but by the quality of weather outside her window. Objects emerge and merge in the gloom; the old woman dissolves and reforms. Her muteness, her glaucomas and her inactivity render things indeterminate. By naming objects, animal and phenomena we reduce and delineate them, and so separate ourselves from the world around us. Shot at ISO 409,000 the image is granulated by pixelation and noise and any discreteness an object or thing might possess is confused by the digital processes of the camera.

Over the course of five minutes condensation on a camera lens evaporates revealing a nostalgic image within the pixelations of the digital camera. The lens was refrigerated for an hour before filming beside a lit stove. As the lens heats up, the condensation steadily disperses. The camera was set to record at 409600 ISO.
