"A coastal sand dune is transformed and reshaped into digital ether. The film focuses closely on sand as a material, which is composed of silica, the mineral that is a primary ingredient in manufacturing silicon chips, lenses, binoculars, microscopes, and mirrors—devices that extend our vision. The film uses these devices to visually capture the sand dune and evoke the transformation of materials that goes into their production. Through 16mm analog techniques, the elemental forces of a sand dune merge with the physical properties of the celluloid." (TP) Commissioned for Canyon Cinema's Print Generations project.
