MARSH

MARSH, 2026, stop motion, video, scanned 16mm film, quadraphonic sound/color, 9:15 min, dimensions variable

MARSH is an experimental plein air stop motion animation filmed in a salt marsh in Provincetown, MA. The piece responds to this place of constant change and animacy with improvised movement. Fantastical characters perform and sing on behalf of the marsh, as if performing a fragmented ecological opera for this site where human activity is metabolized but never fully digested.
