Vertical Remains
Time ascends as history sinks. Thirty-two upward-tilting shots, across British Columbia’s Lower Mainland, excavate histories of Indigenous presence, colonial violence, and ecological transformation. As image fades from colour to monochrome and sound descends against the camera’s rise, chronology collapses. Archival images, composite landscapes, and a descending sonic register unsettle linear narration, reframing the present as accumulated residue, and the land emerges as an unresolved stratigraphic archive, where history persists vertically beneath contemporary space.
