22 Light-Years
USA, 2021. Director Janie Geiser. 13min.
Janie Geiser’s digital animation is a fluid but hauntingly elusive meditation on home and memory. A flickering collage emerges, in which landscapes, architectural walls and bodily surfaces are shaped and textured through photographic negatives, found patterned papers, flower seed packets, diagrams, home design software and archival footage. Patterns and three-dimensional objects and natural forms-turned-images drape over spaces and memories, suggesting a fashion that not only mimics but also, more radically, merges with the organic world.
