01 · At home
Following, not staging.
It starts where her day does. Much of the film is shot handheld beside her, in the kitchen, behind the wheel, walking into a gallery. The camera keeps pace with her day instead of arranging it.
02 · The road
Much of it happens on the way.
The camera rides beside her. Between one room and the next, she talks it through behind the wheel, and the film lets her.
03 · The rooms
Into the galleries, and back out.
Handheld and close, the film follows her into the city’s gallery spaces and out onto the street to talk about what she saw. Speaking straight to camera, she carries the argument of the film, and plain walls with steady framing keep the attention on what she is saying.
04 · Other hands
Other artists, other hands.
The story widens to the makers around her. A paper marbling studio gets its own scene: ink floating on the bath, combs drawn through it, color lifted off.
Moving frames play without sound. The film itself is below.
05 · The record

06 · The cut
138 shots in fourteen minutes.
Every bar below is one shot, as wide as it runs on screen. The pace is quick where she is moving and opens up where she stops to talk.
Each bar is one shot, in film order
Counted with scene detection (ffmpeg, scene score over 0.35) on the final export.

A shoot is one more fire.
