The title of Ben Balcom and Josh Weissbach’s collaborative film can have a few different meanings. The film may be regarded as a series of notes and letters between the two filmmakers. Or it could refer to the method by which its various fragments are assembled into a meaningful whole. Surfaces, textures and spaces are joined through a loose, intuitive montage that permits the pieces to hover around each other like atomic particles. Onscreen texts and verbal phrases tease the viewer with the promise of explanation but ultimately add to the overall mystery. (Michael Sicinski)

In the presence of Josh Weissbach.
This film will be shown as part of the screening Illumination.
