Magnetar, Lighthouse, 2023

color, sound, 4:24, Super 8 and 16mm

An investigation of stellar and terrestrial optic machines. A synthetic narrator, Ouroboros A2M37, chronicles the explosive accidents of time. The film is a metabolic map of the witness; a document of survival-by-observation. The work treats time not as a sequence, but as a weight or a volume; a nervous system in tension with light. An accident becomes a film.

Part of The Ouroboros Transmissions, a multi-film cycle (2012–2023).

• Premiered in Seeing is Dreaming, Aurora Picture Show (Houston), curated by Salome Kokoladze
