Sunken Treasure
2018
32m, digital video to DCP, 5.1 sound
An amalgalm of ship’s logs from the deep sea and deep space, Sunken Treasure draws us into a journey of exploration that detaches from time and geography. Piloting a boat into the void of a remote water cave in Central Europe or sinking deep under the Adriatic Sea in scuba gear, the desire to "find" slowly turns on itself. Shot on location in Slovenia and Croatia with modified infra-red camera gear and underwater cinematography, the film subverts the western narrative of discovery typified by the nature documentary genre of the 1970’s.
