Synopsis:
‘Walden [verb]’ is an impressionistic adaptation of the book ‘Walden’, and playful abstractions relating to critiques of his life and work. Within three channels of video, we follow a young woman in the snowy woods as she undertakes various ritualistic procedures in nature and in symbolic spaces. The film links various themes of environmentalism and human discord to weave fragments of narratives and symbols, the three channels of video creating a specifically-crafted whole linked by a single soundscape.
