A Book of Films








Largely under two minutes long, unedited, unmediated except for the factory settings of a camera without zoom. Between pressing start and pressing stop is the lived present.

Three 'books' of films - 'A Book of Commonplaces', 'What is There', and 'Dhikr'. 

Using the camera for improvisation, as sketchpad, an aid to 'dhikr', a meditation on what is there. These fragments of consciousness take as article of faith that there is a ground, that the world is not 'written' and textualized into banality​.


​Almost silent, they draw on the expressivist aesthetic of Stan Brakhage and minimalist parameters.
