A household landscape of mirrors. A child and its reflection are inscribed in a shadowy lunar patchwork. The camera switches its optical pursuit: the child disappears and a bird emerges. The surveying mirror implodes or explodes into space.
Sea of Vapors
Sylvia Schedelbauer 2014 | 15 minutes

A cascade of images cut frame by frame flow into an allegory of the lunar cycle.
“Despite the teeming flow of images juxtaposed and superimposed in between – eye to mountainscape, face to fingernails, flowers to lips, rocks to sea, forest to child – we are struck less by associative or metaphorical links than by the sense that, with her simple gesture, the woman engages the phenomenal world, drinking in nothing less than the universe conjured throughout.” Tony Pipolo, Artforum
Curated and introduced by John Edmond, Associate Curator (Film), UQ Art Museum
