Descent
Syd Farrington
In search of traces and signs of an absence, this film examines the coexistence between nature and the structures or artefacts created by humanity to offer a formal object of remembrance. A dark celebration of the surface of a fractured and exhausted world. What might have been an urban symphony instead evokes the feeling of a mausoleum for our present existence.
