TERRA INCOGNITA

(10:00, 16mm, color, sound, 2002)

A pinhole film, a cheap robot voice, a makeshift history. An explorer’s tale of the unknown part of the world.

Terra Incognita is a lensless film whose cloudy pinhole images create a memory of history. Ancient and modern explorer texts of Easter Island are garbled together by a computer narrator, resulting in a forever repeating narrative of discovery, colonialism, loss and departure.
