Filmed in the surrounds of the small Victorian town of Warracknabeal, Parallaxis draws on the startling landscape of the Wimmera-Mallee wheatbelt to explore ways we navigate, hold, and alter space.
Filmed in the surrounds of the small Victorian town of Warracknabeal, Parallaxis draws on the startling landscape of the Wimmera-Mallee wheatbelt to explore ways we navigate, hold, and alter space.
The film follows two offworld figures as they arrive to survey an unforgiving terrain via large cylindrical instruments that are pushed and pulled in perpetual movement. Parallaxis considers the potential for architectural processes and measurements to act as a foundation for understanding and fixing an earthly position.
