TERRA INCOGNITA
by Ben Russell
Country: USA
Year: 2002
Duration: 10'
“Terra Incognita is a lensless film whose cloudy pinhole images create a memory of history. Ancient and modern explorer texts of Easter Island are garbled together by a computer narrator, resulting in a forever repeating narrative of discovery, colonialism, loss and departure.”
“A pinhole film, a cheap robot voice, a makeshift history. An explorer’s tale of the unknown part of the world.”
