passages

The entire film takes place in one space – a room of which we see only one wall, upon which is the moving shadow of a tree being blown by the wind. In the window we see images, which act both as mirrors reflecting back what is happening inside the room, and as glass, allowing us to see what is happening outside the room. The film is divided into four sections plus an introduction with each section separated by a slow zoom in towards the window, drawing us through the successive levels of life and existence of the space of the room, the “passages” which give the film its name.
