Beyond the farthest plane catalogues architectural acts constructed by the toolmaking breed and his desire to see beyond his own being. The film engages the architecture of observation towers, as material manifestations of mankind, as monuments to his own desire for meaning. These manmade structures intervene for an instance in time and nature, as an imprint of the restriction of our own being and desire to construct meaning out of that which we cannot fully comprehend.
Through the view of these empty towers imbued with the idea of human knowledge and desire for something beyond, is a landscape in constant flux.
Beyond the farthest plane, is the fifth stanza of eight within the lager body of work, Man from Iota.
Man from Iota
As a body of work, Man from Iota investigates the correspondence of time and the instance of man’s existence in it, the desire for the unattainable freedom of flight within this instance, while being tethered to the rock of time and history, his own doing within it and his desire for quantifiable knowledge about something other within nature.
