NО̄

The read

It runs a compact 33m.

Synopsis

Filmed in real time and from a fixed camera angle, NО̄ creates a visual choreography from an everyday action. A Japanese peasant couple is bundling hay and later spreads it out again over the field. This action, which occurs in linear geometric precision from back to front and vice versa, ensures an observation of the landscape, perspective, light, and time. Lockhart’s work emerges as a landscape painting in real time.
