About
With this collection of short works that meditate on the profound meaning and implications of the Anthropocene and the 6th Mass Extinction currently underway, filmmaker Georg Koszulinskis approach turns to the science-fiction genre in order to make truth claims about possible futures, attempts to weigh ecological problems from a multispecies perspective, or operates as diachronous thought experiments, merging multiple time scales alongside one another in an attempt at taking measure of the ecological crises facing all life on Planet Earth.
The films in this collection make attempts at representing multiple temporalities: deep time, historical time, cinematic time, mythological time, subjective timeas in a watched pot never boils, or time stood stilland visual representations of the passage of time, as in the rings of an old-growth tree laid bare, a young girl turning an hourglass in her hand, or a photograph capturing the fragment of a second on July 16, 1945, when the atom was split in the deserts of New Mexico.
