Inhabit the Dream (2022)

Directed by Heidi Duckler
Editing and Cinematography by Nicolas Savignano
Music Composed and Performed by Tom Grant

Inhabit the Dream was commissioned by the Halprin Landscape Conservancy and was performed in the Keller Fountain, designed by architect Lawrence Halprin, in Portland, Oregon. The film explores the ephemeral nature of dance and memory through light and time to cinematically construct afterimages–an image that continues to appear in the eyes after a period of exposure to the original image.   These afterimages trace the dancer’s movement as they are marked in space. The dancers, like the water in the fountain, eventually evaporate.
