This film features a sound composition and performance by poet Gerry Shikatani, and explores the relationships surrounding language, image and sound, set to the backdrop of a gravel pit. “When I got the footage back from the lab, I was disappointed because of the periodic flipping of the image. After screening the footage several times I realised that the malfunctioning camera rendered the filmed-nature, unnatural… and this poses questions: What is nature? What is natural?” – Phil Hoffman
