Reconnaissance

Johann Lurf / Austria / 2012 / Czech Premiere / 5 min.

synopsis

The patient observation of a military building in California leads to the discovery of a quiet part of a dam and the underground tunnels and cement structures of a giant reservoir that was long used as a test site for torpedoes and other underwater army equipment.

Imperceptible movements disturb the lethargy of the originally static image, divided into spatial planes whose subtle movements create a fictional environment in which the only thing that seems real is the viewer’s precarious foothold.
