Poetic visuals and whirring sound coalesce in this evocative film by artist and filmmaker Malena Szlam. Archipelago of Earthen Bones — To Bunya unfolds across a different kind of space-time; taking the concept of "volcanic time" into consideration, the film presents a stirring portrait of the immense beauty and mammoth wonder of the planet and its inconceivably vast ecologies and lifeworlds – of nature and of sound. Szlam's world-spanning 16mm footage – which arrives like a testament from the Earth's crust itself – is given vibrational breath by its accompanying soundscape, composed by artist Lawrence English.
