Crystal World is inspired by J.G Ballard’s apocalyptic science fiction novel of the same name where a viral crystal metamorphoses trees, animals, humans and architecture into frozen jewels forever suspended in time and space. The novel is a haunting portrait of a world in which everything is illuminated by prismatic light, a ‘leaking’ of time that causes humans to experience individual moments endlessly looped, repeated and prolonged. My film adapts this concept of crystallization and applies it to fragments from the 1955 film. I reconstruct scenes from Charles Laughton’s iconic film with underwater puppets, which I then crystallize using ammonium phosphate crystals, time-lapse photography, mirrors, prisms, and projectors.

Llong rolls of paper filled with continuous abstract drawings across which the camera continually pans. In this film you are reading these images as you would words, yet the meaning of these sentences are abstracted. This film is about process, yet an artifact exists: the paper roll. You come away with a sense that the paper rolls exist outside the film as sculpture in their own right and in turn are a manifestation, a reference back to an actual strip of film, unprojected.
