"Psychohydrography"
(Peter Bo Rappmund, USA, 2010, 62 min.)
Rappmund's singular film, composed entirely of single frame photography and a highly crafted sound track, is a hypnotic meditation on the hidden infrastructure of modern life and the secret life of the one element that makes it all possible. Tracing the flow of water from the mountains of Nevada, through Los Angeles and ultimately to the Pacific Ocean, the viewer tours interstitial spaces and experiences the physical transformation of the landscape.
"the journey of an artist who wishes to show the inherent conflicts of our man-made universe while remaking it himself." Michael Joshua Rowan, ARTFORUM'
