Entanglement
Digital technologies are supposed to distance us from our material surroundings, but in Ed Bowes’s hands, they accentuate the physical world. His exquisite new film, ENTANGLEMENT, shot in high definition, lingers over skin pores, strands of hair, a clutch of flowers, a chair’s back. The accompanying script – written with poet Anne Waldman – is philosophical, abstract, while remaining as sensual as the camera’s vision. Together, image and word draw attention to the nuances of love, language, and touch that we frequently overlook in our bustling everyday lives. — Alan Gilbert
