These works engage with amplifications of detail, postlapsarian eulogies, and medieval sensibilities; which explore acts of perception and acts of consciousness of the natural world. It is a selection of moving image works, predominantly from recent years, which engage with elements of natural landscape, of seascape, of the cultivated natural world of the garden, and the creep of the natural world within an urban wasteland. But ultimately these works do more than explore images of elements of the natural world; these works revolve around the central concern of an exploration of the ‘perceptual moment’ and its relation to the moment or act of consciousness: there is a potential within these works, as artist Samantha Rebello has put it, for thought to take place within the very construction of film itself.
