de-composition

2023 · 3 min

A hypnotic, abstract wash of rust and texture that pulses with industrial rhythm, rewarding close attention more than narrative.

Directed by
Laura Kraning
Overview
A textural macro collage of a rust belt landscape—scratched, splattered, dripping, cracking and bursting to the surface. Photographed and meticulously edited over one year in Buffalo NY, the reverberant tones of the New York Central rail line provide the rhythmic pulse to a rapid cascade of multi-hued material decay and metallic de-composition.
