One Square Metre
2025
Ground, film and text
Two short films
One square metre of ground, chosen because asphalt, concrete, brick and grass all meet in it. I tried many ways of looking at it and kept coming back to video. The first film is about land reclamation: the ground under the asphalt was once sea. The second is about building sites, and how the grass in the cracks is always the first thing to go. Both mix text, sound and moving image.
Asphalt is made of oil. But oil is from the ocean. And now it's here, on this fake land made on ocean. I find that sad.
