He Maketh a Path to Shine After Him; One Would Think the Deep to Be Hoary (2013)

Directed by Lucien Castaing-Taylor, Véréna Paravel

Documentary · 5h 36m

An archaeology of both the ocean and the image, this piece reworks the sequences of Leviathan that were shot in and from the sea. Projected at 1/50 of the speed at which they were recorded, it simultaneously slows movement and animates the still, revealing a liminal universe at the threshold of human vision. In this flux, one beholds a netherworld of aqueous forms that appear in one frame and disappear or transmogrify into something else in the next.
