Eventual Horizon: Film

Eventual Horizon

Filmed in the Arctic, Eventual Horizon threads together the artist’s experience of insomnia, grief, and hope. This viscerally engaging film draws a parallel between the experience of mourning a loved one and ecological degradation. Perceiving grief as an active element of hope, Eventual Horizon focuses on the transformative and healing power of these states.
The film’s soundscape was created from a variety of Arctic field recordings, including the sound of ice melting using a hydrophone.

Research & Development in the Arctic was facilitated by The Arctic Circle - Artists & Scientist Residency and supported using public funding by Arts Council England. 

With the support of Sustainable Art, a contribution was made towards the project Urban Forest which went towards the plantation of a Miyawaki forest in a school in Grez-Doiceau, Belgium.
