Entirely hand-processed and hand-painted, “Site Visit” visually evokes a series of fantasy maps and the imaginary “sites” visited by following the paths laid out. Metaphorically the process of the film depicts the impossibility of concretely mapping disease in the human body, especially the emotional consequences. The degradation of the emulsion through bleaching is parallel to the slow degradation that occurs in the body stricken with cancer.
