Preservation immerses the viewer in the mysteries of the natural world, leveraging analog techniques and dark-field microscopy to capture the transformative, mercurial movements of soap bubbles, algae, water-based chemical reactions and human bodies. Material exploration is juxtaposed with dance choreography ruminating on time, space and mortality, all of which is explored through the primordial potentiality of movement. The dancers float in space and create a celestial thread that runs throughout the film. Preservation explores the ever-evolving understanding of nature as a word, a concept, and a relationship by juxtaposing analog and digital; live and recorded; raw and mediated art forms, seeking to create a liminal space in which two concepts can coexist, the deeply rooted idea of nature as immemorial and the emergent concept of nature as constructed, choreographed, and projected.
