Over ten days, the artists collected footage of the shifting textures of the olive groves outside a village in the Peloponnese, south of Greece. The variations of perspective in the split screen views of the landscape suggest a state of contemplation that allows for the simultaneous observation of panorama and detail, long and short term. Echoing the dualism of the split screen and the placement of the observer as a subjective filter, the sound is edited to reflect an inward experience of the environment; space is interior and exterior, real and imagined.
