spool collective
Spool I, Spool II is an experimental video series that reflects the steps and processes of life, entering the world and gradually unraveling toward another end.
In Spool III-IV, with a linear time structure, each video represents a journey to a specific place as a process of winding and unwinding simultaneously, without any defined destination.
We unwind from pitch black to an empty spool, and rewind from vacant white to a replete spool. The sound is edited into repetitive noise beats that disrupt the chronological flow, using only natural field recordings, repeated without any form of distortion.
