Let Them Vanish With a Trace
Telieka tik pėdsakasLet Them Vanish With a Trace is an invitation to speak with worlds with whom speaking may not be possible. We facilitated contact between 16 mm film emulsion and soil fungi; we expected nothing in return. But the fungi were generous. While the film has partly vanished, its traces continue to circulate in an ecological totality. How to speak nearby this complex relationship?
We made the soundtrack using optical sound prints of fungi patterns (Aspergillus fumigatus), while a scanning electron microscope animates the slow degradation of emulsion and polyester. Within this imperfect exchange, a space of openness emerged—an invitation to imagine relations guided not by control, but by mutual curiosity, respect, and transformation.The fictional and the literal co-exists in shifting rhythms, vanishing spirals, and surfacing harmonies.
