About this submission

The landscape recollects for us, offering oblique access to the memories of those who came before. In LEAVING LANDSCAPE, the stores of four generations of women intermingle in a whisper. Allegories about intimacy from Schopenhauer and Plato are feminized, repurposed, and visualized: a porcupine’s bones laid out, made-up organisms created and divided. The film explores biological and metaphysical reproduction as bodily autonomy vanishes in the US. What is a queer reality? What forms can non-rational knowledge take? This place is not as it seems: the landscape recedes and a world of undulating shapes emerges.
