Dance, choreographed for the camera, speculates on the origins of life. It grows more complex as it courses to its climax, imagining the extinction of the human species in a grand "memento mori" to lines from Goethe's Der Fischer. Double exposure in the filming process layers imagery of dancers, architecture by Gaudi, and the wilderness of Haida Gwaii on Canada's Northwest coast.
"Mr. Conrad's work, bold and literate, complex and striking, is at the forefront of international advances in the field."
