Echoes of Undercurrents
Film, together with Julia Lohmann.
Filmed at Sleepy Islands, Iceland, a cluster of 63 islands nestled in Breiðafjörður, where the tides replaced time. This artistic film explores the rich seaweed forests. At low tide, we wade through exposed seaweed forests. As the tide rises, we snorkel, immersing ourselves in vibrant underwater gardens, exploring the rhythmic beauty of these shifting seaweed worlds. We are at home, and yet, we are so out of place.
