Caesura

Caesura - Take 1 from Rebecca Morrison on Vimeo.

An initial version of Caesura, a film project that began in October on a Jonesport, Maine beach at sunrise.  This work has actually been in gestation for some time now; the conceptual basis is one that I've been exploring for more than two years through various approaches to animation.

Here, I use on-location stop-motion photography and a sound composition made exclusively from my own sampled vocal recordings.

I'm interested in the passage of time, in the way a human body both inhabits and resists this progression, and also the ways in which we occupy the various physical spaces of our daily lives.

What does it look like to feel out of sync with time and/or the world around us, to be both paralyzed and frantic, both isolated and integrated, both suspended and also in motion?

This is a work in progress.  Feedback is welcome and appreciated.
