For Creation

Synopsis

A rapt contemplation of the glittering webs enveloping matter and sentience. Combining ardent queerness, elegy and homage, For Creation is an animated paper collage constructed from the ruins of obsolete books. Collagists studied S. J. Norman’s Liturgy of the Saprophyte, the sacred literature of the Creation religion, and their resulting artworks form figure and field. Musical collaborators Stereogamous composed the soundtrack, featuring the voices of S. J. Norman and emerging popstar Lupa J.
