Grainy black and white images alternate with overexposed colour shots. Dreamy tracking shots through barren, rocky landscapes, flying with griffon vultures and storks, follow static shots by a flowing brook or near a grasshopper on a stone. Close-ups of grasses, insects, seemingly accidentally discovered stone sculptures, then a series of interior views of a slightly dilapidated villa in the country. Scenes of a baptism, at the end overlapping details of a campfire. One could describe countless such impressions, one wants to keep circling with the birds forever, roaming through the rocks, lingering in the community …
Ewelina Rosińska spent a few years travelling through Portugal with photographer Nuno Barroso and a 16mm camera, occasionally accompanied by artists and eco-activists, capturing landscapes, encounters and places. Composed with dreamlike certainty in a captivating and supple rhythm, her film is like a visual poem about the ambivalence of human presence in nature.
