Generations
Director
Thirteen static shots of coal-fired power stations across the United States, seen in rural landscapes, urban settings, sun or cloud and at all times of year. Whatever the location or season, there’s always at least one chimney belching out fumes.
The Open Window
Director
16mm film, 2017, 7 minutes. Like restless, waiting missiles, towering pillars of industrial machinery send us to the desolation of the lunar surface. — LS
Ark
Director
32:30, digital, 2016. Part travelogue, part philosophical mediation, Ark is a film about decadence and illusion. Set in the not too distant future, in a post-apocalyptic world, Ark melds lurid surrealist imagery with sardonic musings of anonymous passengers aboard a cruise ship at the end of the world.
After Light
Director
HD video, 2014, 8 minutes 40 seconds. A poetic journey conveying the passage of time as witnessed by an anonymous observer on an overnight train ride. — LS
