Ochlockonee Split

Inspired by Bill Brown and Thomas Comerford’s Chicago Detroit Split (2005), Ochlockonee Split deploys unslit double 8mm film to traverse the span of Ochlockonee Bay on Florida’s gulf coast. A sonic collage of local field recordings and a handheld, malfunctioning camera capture a fragmented portrait of the estuary at low tide—where the boundaries between land and sea, life and death, growth and decay and our own sense of spatial orientation briefly collapse across the brackish water held between duelling images.
