Deluge is an experimental film that explores the unstable entanglement of the human body and the natural world amid accelerating climate transformation. Through a shifting visual language of immersion, erosion, and emergence, the film erodes distinctions between flesh and landscape, sensing the body as porous matter—responsive to the same elemental forces that shape land, water, and atmosphere.
The film unfolds through a fluid temporality in which past, present, and speculative futures press against one another. Bodies appear and disappear, fragment and re-form, mirroring landscapes altered by rising waters, melting icebergs calved from receding glaciers, sedimentation, and slow ecological ruptures. Nature is not solely positioned as an external scene but as a corporeal condition, felt through skin, breath, and movement. Image and sound work in close relation, producing a sensorial field where transformation is registered as vibration, pressure, and drift.
Deluge resists representational closure, instead operating as a field of relational intensities in which bodies and environs co-emerge. It considers embodiment as materially embedded and temporally unstable, shaped through ongoing exchanges with a transforming environment.
