Ode • Immersive Art
Ode is a highly intimate, non-verbal experimental film that finds the pinnacle of humanness in the absence of the human. Minimalist at its core. “If I took one photograph every two minutes for 30 hours in a home with people, it's possible, although not probable, to record a massive event without ever seeing a person. This is that story.”
