Traversing the continent’s most rugged shoreline and dodging the tidal surge of the Pacific Ocean, the United States ultra-runner Dylan Bowman attempts the Fastest Known Time for traversing California’s Lost Coast. Shrouded in myth – and fog – the Lost Coast describes a section of California coastline so forbidding that it stymied even the most dogged engineers, who carved Highway One out of thousands of miles of West Coast forests and beaches. Highway One, which (often in combination with Highway 101) stretches from Orange County to Canada, makes only one exception to its coast-hugging route: the Lost Coast, where it veers inland, defeated by the vertiginous cliffs of the King Range.

The film deals with the frescoes in Macedonian churches, which are harbingers of the Renaissance. Special attention is given to the medieval churches: "St. Panteleimon" in Gorno Nerezi and "St. George" in the village of Kurbinovo.

Comparing the fresco "Lamentation of Christ" by Giotto di Bondone, who is considered a harbinger of the Renaissance, and the same fresco by Mihail and Evtihij, one notices a great similarity in the psychological analysis of the characters.

This performance was inspired by the persistent questioning Tanya faces regarding the existence of a “wall” in her travels across the U.S. and Mexico. It documents and extracts evidence of the wall’s existence—there are three consecutive walls in the part of Mexico where grew up—in front of Trump’s proposed wall prototypes. This section of border fence, at Shroud of Turin, is made up of corrugated jet landing mats that were recycled from the Gulf War/Desert Storm. It was erected during Operation Gatekeeper, a strategic reinforcement of the U.S./Mexico Border, which was responsible for more migrant deaths in its first year than in the entirety of the previous seventy five years of Border Patrol History. She and her team took rust impressions from these walls on cotton as evidence of their existence.

Each day, these workers leave their homes for work, not knowing if it will mark their final day in this relentless cycle.
