Ode (An Acknowledgement of Sea Country)

Ode is a cameraless animated work crafted from handmade macroalgae celluloid. Developed in collaboration with CSIRO and marine scientists, it employs contact printing, botanicollage, and seaweed bio-sonification to probe a post-petrochemical cinema. With a runtime of 365 seconds, the film offers an ocean-responsive meditation on deep time, material intelligence, and more-than-human collaboration.
