Van McElwee — Echoes in Alternity

A video in which moments overlap, branch and open new depths within the image.

Figures and coloured traces overlap in a dense video image crossed by geometric lines.

Figures and traces overlap until the image seems to remember several moments at once. In Echoes in Alternity, Van McElwee imagines time viewed from outside: branching, looping back on itself and opening into new depths. Fragments of the visible world become a shifting material rather than a linear narrative.
