Abstract

In Reaching Through, motion, light, and travel converge, mapping out memory and connection in an EP and its accompanying visuals. Captured are city lights and roads, bright lights and long drives. Through electronic music production, photography, and video synthesis, this series reaches towards openness and possibility. Inspired by classical writings about ancient Greek eros and narrative constructions of travel, roads and cityscapes become contexts for exploration. Covered in light or blurred by the speed of the road passing, a figure is placed in the role of navigator – alone, focused, and open. Reaching Through uses Portland roads and viewpoints as contexts for exploration. Memory is something to be traversed. Closeness is something to be arrived at. Culminating in a 4 track EP, an off-site exhibition, and a concert event, Reaching Through explores what it means to reach out towards connection and sentimentality through dreamy electronic music, video, photography, and performance.
