Where is there to belong to? To not feel strange? To not ask permission? Ground. Home. A familiar land.

Une Terre Familière is structured as a series of long-take vignettes, each centered around a site purposing a collision of nature and artifice. Within highly manicured environments, these sites attempt to imitate natural processes and un-peopled ecosystems and to preserve and manage elements of nature. The figures in Une Terre Familière struggle to do their best with what they have--to find their own sun at the tanning salon, their own clouds in the steam room--to improve, to connect, to find “home” in the world.
