all-around-view

Three films - three movements. In a 360-degree camera pan, divided into three slightly delayed image fields, Pan undertakes a short, practically endless journey, only to return to the starting point again and again. monroc uses three formal, abstract individual episodes to enter the interiors of a ruined house and suggests a fictitious story, purely through synaesthetic mood creations. The confrontation between social memory and historical memory is the starting point for Muhheakantuck, who examines the Hudson River as a socio-cultural territory along two real-time aerial views. Buckingham contrasts and problematizes the history of colonization, the conquest and mapping of the river by European explorers and immigrants with the accompanying eradication of Native American culture.
