I don’t think I can see an Island
Christopher Becks and Emmanuel Lefrant, who are well known to New Horizons audiences, this time in a joint film project once again take on the act of seeing, which is already clear from the title of this experimental film. Filmed from a distance, the image of an island is subject to creative manipulation. The object that we are looking at is subject to change and, in doing so, it becomes difficult to definitively answer the question about how it really looks.
