Light Study is a poetic examination of the wetlands, forests, and ecosystems of the Niagara Escarpment World Biosphere. Filmed entirely in single frames over a three year period, it explores the unique landscape of the Bruce Trail in 16mm with techniques such as flicker, pixillation and time-lapse photography. Here, nature presides over an ephemeral human element, its primordial essence both medium and agent of light’s eternal change. Soundtrack composed by Graham Stewart, member of the experimental music collective Viosac.
