«Across the Lake / Kòe Ô͘» is a plunge into a landscape recomposed like a mnemonic score. Using processes of mental association, the video is broken down into multiple perceptions of the same journey. The different points of attention allow the eye to oscillate between details and overviews, microcosm and macrocosm, real perceptions and recomposition through other landscapes summoned in memory like impossible resurgences.
Sound is perceived as a trigger of consciousness—clawing, harrowing, excavating, stroking, pinching, rinsing—together with the visual. It aims to cultivate life; nurture bacteria; reveal the fragrant essence of emerald; explore the unknown void of the mind; and establish an external alliance with freedom. Harnessing physical sounds dismantles the framework of consciousness and reveals the destined luminous cycle of death and rebirth.
«Across the Lake/Kòe Ô͘» is an audiovisual decoy that underlines the fact that perception is only a mental construct.
