Bonne Chance

Filmed at the Bonneville Salt Flats, the dried remains of an primeval lake – today, a vast salt desert, which serves as a land-speed-record test ground and for mining salt and using my shadow and a butterfly (Colias philodice) as motifs, the video explores concepts of the here and now, the there and then, the relationship of change and time and one’s own mutable standpoint in in a world that is undergoing devastating changes due to human influences, and so touches upon the human made climate catastrophe through an intra- and intertextual elliptical narrative carried by a voice-over and sounds generated by a text-to-sound-program as well as animated subtitles.
