THE MAGNITUDE OF THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDES

[ 05:31 ]

Winner of the Grand Prize in the Metropolis Art Prize 2009. 

“The Magnitude of the Continental Divides” is an animation exploring the ways we define ourselves and our nations. It is a journey between many locations in various states of withdrawal and aggression. Borders become weaponized and damage is always dealt from afar. The individual is caught in the midst, unable to separate themselves, unable to define identity without place.
