OVERFLOW

An immersive audio visual project that journeys from the human sphere of atmospheric time into the alien microcosmic world of a living pool.

Inspired and based upon Dr. Jack Greenhalgh's Phd work — using hydroponics to study, non intrusively, the ecological health of small, but vital bodies of water.

This filmic journey is set against an audio tapestry collected from the aquatic environment using hydro-phonic equipment. This sound, digitally processed into the realms of musicality, describes the strata of the internal world of a small body of fresh water teeming with life.
As we travel downwards each context layer is amplified both visually and audibly through the use of layered fragments that drift across our perception — redolent with drama and trepidation .
