Transnistria
 An experiment in immersive cinema, ‘Transnistria’ is an attempt to create a future world through a visual collage of present day imagery. Using the suggestion of narration and music a new reality is stitched together from a set of distinct and separate realities, making a world, which is a credible alternative to the old realities from which it came.
‘Transnistrias’ narrative world alludes to a futuristic vision of mankind after he has been forced to retreat to the equator by extreme climate change. There he builds an elaborate structure which extends into space, where he sleeps attached to the earth by thin umbilical cords.
His fall from grace, defined by his loss of ownership of the planet, is accompanied by a re-positioning of core values and beliefs.. Moving away from hierarchical rationalisation, in ‘Transnistria’, emotions and the subconscious are the enshrined leaders.
Positioned in the margin between opposites, ‘Transnistria’ is a world of sustained paradox: Hot and cold, restriction and space, freedom and containment, attachment and disembodiment, sealed and split, construction and deconstruction; all are the elements of the reality that is ‘Transnistria’.
Visual memory is embedded in the moment of remembering. Reality is the way in which we interpret the information that comes our way translated through this veil of memories. But what about the information that gets away, that slips through the gaps, falls through the synaptic slit - directly into the lap of the subconscious. In ‘Transnistria’ there is an attempt to play with this invisible zone. This isn’t a world built on rationalization but out of a desire to construct realities that come directly from the subconscious and speak directly back to the subconscious.
‘Transnistria’ is an exercise in the repositioning of meaning in a post structuralist world that has became obsessed with trying to fix meaning.
