Kabo Studio

Time Is the Enemy

personal film

(overview)

A personal film about trying to hold on to what slips. We shot it in black and white and kept pushing the picture until it broke: re-filmed screens, negatives, clones and people floating over a lake. It ends where the studio starts, with the asterisk.

A re-filmed screen

Footage re-filmed off an LED screen, close enough to see the red, green and blue dots.

Clones

One man walks across the frame and leaves copies of himself behind, then the picture turns thermal.

Floating

People hanging in the air by the lake, as if time stopped for them and not for the rest.

Asterisk to logo

A spinning asterisk slows down and settles into the kabo mark.
