(( ~M~ )) (2022)
“The pictographic glyph or character still referred, implicitly, to the animate phenomenon of which it was the static image; it was that worldly phenomenon, in turn, that provoked from us the sound of its name. The sensible phenomenon and its spoken name were, in a sense, still participant with one another…
When we ponder the early Semitic aleph-beth, we readily recognize its pictographic inheritance… The name of the Semitic letter mem is also the Hebrew word for “water”; the letter, which later became our own letter M, was drawn as a series of waves…” David Abram (Spell of the Sensuous)
(( ~M~ )) is A short film exploring the haptic sensation of fluidity. A non-native exploration of an encounter between a body in water and a body of water.
