5 -channel video installation (E/d), HD, colour, sound, 21:35 min The project traces sand as natural resource and examines erosion processes from different perspectives. Natural phenomena such as wind erosion and river bedload are illuminated as well as industrial sand mining sites, construction sites and transport routes. Sand is also essential to measure and understand the concept of time and our cosmological entanglements. The immersive 5-channel video installation leads deep into the earth›s interior, through cave systems and collaged underwater worlds to the human interior/underground. Documentary settings and fictional spaces are superimposed, various forms of material flows are assembled into a multi-layered installation. The focus is on the poly-temporal movements associated with erosion and sedimentation processes: Flows of sand and gravel, the expanded time in geological depths, and the industrial accelerations inscribed in post-natural landscapes. Conceived as a multimedia collage of film, image, material, narrative, and text, the project is an exploration of the organic and inorganic worlds we invent and inhabit. These are spaces, which tell the stories of different forms of interaction, matter-networks, but also to the multiplicity of relationships between bodies, their individual temporalities, as well as their collaborations and co-existences.
