Think the Mountain 5

'Think the Mountain 5' proposes to reveal, through photographic imagery, the representation of the Raven (corvidae) and its position within cinematic history as a transforming of the species subjectively, given the role and potency of its appearance and mythologized status. Further, the work questions comparable mechanisms through which they be apprehended and transformed or repositioned within the aesthetics of cinematography and codes of archetypal representation. It is here that the ‘uncanny’ visual and theoretical style has been activated through the cinematic mechanisms of time-lapse slow motion and the ‘long-take’ within the film and photographic still, rendering the moving avian body and bodies as a slowed gesture of the perceived uncanny. 

'Think the Mountain 5', connects key issues of visually & textually confounding place & presence within landscape, evoking anxious forgetting, fading thoughts, reclamation and the poignant stillness, strangeness and wonder of the unwritten bodies and sites.
