“A Badly-made Figure in an Obscure Fishing Village” is a visual study that arises from a creative research about a cremation burial excavated along one of the cave entrances in the island of Palawan, Philippines. This visual study seeks to explore the concept of the burial rites, where the “image” and the “form” are separated and transformed, before finally buried. During the SPECTRAL Expanded Cinema Residency, they worked on a performative moving image of obscured forms and figures from underwater sonar recordings, to be presented as a 5-channel 16mm film projection.
