Fantasy Sentences

Ela disse que podia ouvir as árvores cantando: ser um corpo, ser qualquer corpo. Depois que o contágio terminou, as cidades pareciam intactas. Era preciso procurar ver os traços da época anterior.

Spell Reel
Director of Photography
The first image is in black and white, upside down and projected into a black box that then becomes the frame. It now hovers like a time capsule near a man’s face. He looks down, listening in on a female guerrilla fighter and translating her words from Fulani. Within the capsule, money is counted and paid out as a new currency, the numbers of the years run backwards in the black box. A 16-mm film glides through the man's hands and is transferred to a laptop screen frame by frame.
