Capture
Netherlands / 2022 / 40'
Plot
A documentary fiction that explores the (in)commensurabilities between art and quantum physics, as well as the boundaries between science, technology, and speculative forms of knowledge found in the natural world. Structured as an intimate science-fiction essay, the film weaves together unique archival materials from CERN with a series of sequences filmed in Norwegian forests. Capture examines how different systems of knowledge touch, overlap, or become incomparable, questioning what it means to “perceive” in a world woven from multiple scales of reality.
