night of the storm 

2:00 minutes 
35mm direct exposures and sound
2025


Night of the Storm approaches the storm indirectly, through its traces rather than its image. Created through direct exposures on 35mm film, the work gathers remnants: marks, gestures, imprints left behind after an event that resists full visibility. The storm emerges less as spectacle than as atmosphere - sensed through sound, moisture, pressure, and distance. These exposures do not attempt to translate the upheaval itself, but linger within what remains afterward. The film considers how images function as traces of contact with the world, carrying fragments of presence while withholding the totality of the experience that produced them.
