FILM

Slow Action is a post-apocalyptic science fiction film that brings together a series of four 16mm works which exist somewhere between documentary, ethnographic study and fiction. The idea of island biogeography – the study of how species and eco-systems evolve differently when isolated and surrounded by unsuitable habitat – is applied to a conception of the Earth in a few hundred years; the sea level rising to absurd heights, creating hyperbolic utopias that appear as possible future mini-societies. The soundtrack explains the evolution of each of the fours islands (Lanzarote, Guankanjima, Tuvalu and Somerset) following their geographical, geological, climatologic and botanical condition
