Two canals in a Dutch nature reserve* run parallel to each other for miles. The camera moves across the surface of the water and accelerates to fly from one canal to the other. The images change from black-and-white to infrared and we see the nature reserve from an unusual color spectrum, and at a different velocity. Imagining a totally different perception such as through the eyes of the dragonfly, which perceives different wavelengths and can 'see' many times faster, >200 images per second, than a human. The tour ends where the two canals meet; by the water at the foot of a silent witness, an overgrown bunker.
*Striking fact: the former peat exploitation waterways of the Peel have grown themselves into protected nature reserves in the midst of extremely industrial livestock production that poses a threat to biodiversity.
