To Cross; One Nail, Metal Spit

A meditation on the borderline of the river Tejo, between Marvila and Barreiro.

Filmed over a period of 3 years, this video work is a meditation on the borderline of the river Tejo, between Marvila and Barreiro. A psychogeographic piece that seeks out a feeling of doubt, inertia, and waiting. "Two sides, along the boundary line All the weight of the water above Metal arms extended to the heavens As if the sky was tilting to meet them And those giants again; Four by four . . . . all in a line, up against the tide."
