Interim

Directed by Helene Garberg

Filmed in and around the openings and entrances to caverns and cenotes in southern Mexico, Yucatan, Interim takes as its departure in the traditional Maya belief that these are places ‘outside time and space’, as they are understood to be entrances to the underworld. Interim contemplates the quiet suspension of the present day environments and practices around these spots. In a floating and dreamy observance, the presence of human beings is paid little more attention than that of plants, rocks, insects and the wind. Through the insistent use of overexposure, and almost silhouette-like burn out images, the holes in the ground become fix-points for the cameras journey through an all too bright over-ground world.
