Time Like Water
Thorbjorg Jonsdottir
Shot on 16mm film over the course of three years, this film documents hiking trips taken alone in the highlands of Iceland. The film explores the boundaries of individual and personal space, versus the open spaces of nature, which belong to no one.
Time Like Water
En la maloca de Don William
Thorbjorg Jonsdottir
A tree is like a man is an attempt to touch the otherworld through its edges. Shot on 16 mm in the Colombian Amazon, the film serves as personal witness to shaman Don William's lifetime relationship to Ayahuasca and other plant medicines that are native to the jungle. With the rainforest a rich labyrinthine background, this portrait is at once intimate and spare, opening up to alternate realities as dense as the jungle itself, with kaleidoscopic multiplicities in both the natural and the spiritual realms.
