This film draws its imagery from a series of hand-processed 35mm film stills, featuring textures with specific qualities collected by the artist during her travels through various natural environments. These images are then meticulously layered through slow dissolves in post-production, seeking to activate the image’s immanent potential to generate the indeterminate sensations. "Before everything has a name" is not an imagination of the past or future, but a perceptual mode and state of existence that can be experienced in the present moment - something that may arrive at any time, yet cannot be summoned by will. In this unnamed place, language has not yet taken shape, concepts have not yet been constructed, and naming has not yet severed the interconnections among all things.—An-li dīng
