Salt Crystals Spiral Jetty Dead Sea Five Year Film / 2013

Geological elements and erosion leave marks on a strip of 70mm film that floated in the Dead Sea and soaked in clay before getting stuffed in a suitcase to be brought back to Los Angeles, where it was submerged and sat in buckets filled with mud and salt for years in the artist’s studio.

Through material traces of mud, salt crystals and sand, distant places and layered temporalities flicker across a film that lasts less than one minute.
