At Djúpalónssandur - Reflections on the force and temporality of matter:
This short film takes us to Djúpalónssandur, a gravelly beach of black volcanic sand and tide-smoothed basaltic rocks on the Snæfellsnes peninsula in western Iceland. It’s mid-winter, zero degrees, just a few hours of light each day. Thick slabs of blue-green ice wheeze and crack on the frozen pond that reaches deep into the moss-covered lava field. Keening kittiwakes skim the grey North Atlantic. And something else: a presence that unexpectedly intercedes to disrupt the unfolding of everyday life and compel reflections on the force and temporality of matter.
