Speculations
2016, 16 minutes, 16mm > digital
Midwestern science fiction. An affective portrait of place. An exploration of the city as abstraction.
A portrait of Bellona. Catastrophe lingers on the periphery. Shadows cross shadows, occasionally standing side by side. Some of these people we used to meet at random while out working or walking. They talk their way through this precarious place. Most of them are gone now. The city soaks them up.
