In this collage of simple images from everyday life, such as feet and butterflies, birds and flowers, the pedestrian nature of human origins is found at play amongst images of a compromised nature. From vignettes of machine-fed birds that mirror a fascination with wings, this film reflects on some of the darker fruits of man’s desire for the capacity for flight. Using both colour and B&W stock, “About Flight” is mainly processed by hand and modulated with colour tints, toning and both in-camera and darkroom effects.
