As time goes by

Donnenberg’s image-poem documents the inevitable onward push of time and its effects upon a landscape over the course of the four seasons: a slow reawakening in spring; beautiful bursts of color in summer; the quiet slumber of autumn, and finally, the fields and flora sinking back into the cold sleep of winter. With the duration of each section equal to the length of a Super 8 cartridge, the gradual deterioration of nature is inherently tethered to the film’s materiality, its scratchy, organic texture itself becoming a meditation on the sad passage of time and the immanence of death.
