SALT

Stanza 5

SALT tells a story of ostracised grief.

Sitting as stanza 5, SALT has to be the most labour intensive out of all films, where my ultimate focus was to inhabit the element of SALT as deeply as I could, and remain in dialogue for sustained periods of time.

 

A powerful synchronicity swept through real time, the landscape, the body and life as it happened during Stanza 5.

 

Speaking a distinct language, it delivered the starkest mirrors where gut wrenching reflections of bone dry death, decay and the cruelty of human nature were laid bare - alongside breathtaking beauty.

SALT was a game changer in terms of how the films flow together in an arc, and in turn informed RAIN ON EARTH sitting as Stanza 6.
