The US filmmaker Conner Griffith is known for experimental works that offer perspective-shifting explorations of everyday scenes and objects. For Still Life, he compiled and choreographed a dizzying dance of more than 1,000 engravings from the 19th century – from flowers to teapots to amphibians. The resulting short explores the philosophical notion that, as Griffith puts it, ‘we live in a world of objects and a world of objects lives within us’. Meticulously crafted in both sound and imagery, the resulting short forms an impressive and enigmatic meditation on consciousness.
