Divine Memory

Using a vocal religious poetry recitation from old television archives mixed with a video game soundtrack, the camera in Divine Memory (2019) follows several octopuses swimming nonchalantly in water, while artificially distorting their colors. A kind of music video attuned to natural phenomena; the work attempts to delve into our innate memory as creatures of this world, perhaps a pre-human genetic memory, so as to stimulate feelings of awe and wonder at the construction of being.
