(Giizis Mooka’am Giiwe) Sun and Moon Rise She Goes Home
ABOUT
This film is a meditation. Using a 16mm intervalometer camera that takes a few frames every few minutes, the artist spent several years tracing the cycles of our sky collapsing time so hours go by in minutes. This view shows all the cycles of the city, the weather, clouds, planets, planes, and stars. In Ojibwe “giizis” means sun, moon, and month, “Mooka'am” rise, “Giiwe” s/he goes home. Shot in Los Angeles and Santa Fe.
