Tattva

Details

Overview

The word ‘Tattva’ in Sanskrit, alludes to the basic elements of nature that determine the material manifestation of all matter and organic life. This film experiments with cinematic projections, microbiology architecture and performance, to inquire into the material 'nature’ of our 'being’. A scanning electron microscope was used to capture the interior landscapes of everyday matter. These images merge with skins and walls engaging in a performance of projected light, poetically evoking a dissolution of boundaries between human-nonhuman, subject-object, art-science, matter and spirit.
