If Deep Time is a frame to understand scales of time that are beyond human experience and history, then rocks are the witness to Deep Time

Open Invitation is a project that investigates concerns around ecology, the environment and how we inhabit our planet. This is a project developed in conjunction with The Witness platform out of a year-long research process where we explore geological time, ancient landscape, and human presence through conscious listening. The experimental film ‘Open Invitation’ visually explores the relationship of the human form to the landscape and pays attention to time, both human and geological. It is a meditation on time and presence.
