Filmmaker Statement

"Film Found" is about exploring materiality and physical mediums of sound and film. In working with clay, paper and magnetic audiotape we experience a sense of working with the mediums and a certain artistic loss of control. ‘Loss of control’ has been both a mantra and a theme that can be traced in the creation process as well as the imagery. We wanted to create a project that is felt rather than analyzed. It is very important to us that the work is open to interpretation which is why we work with artistic tools such as intensity, textuality, imperfections and dynamics rather than a concrete narrative. The project can be seen as visual and sonic abstractions of our experience of being affected by otherness and losing control to larger forces of life. The film and score was created simultaneously. As we were working on the film it was clear to us that the project has tons of sonic potential which is why the very best pieces turned into a full length album. "Album Found"
