Dust & Flow: Muds, Movement, Time, Scale
Rikke Luther / Iceland, Svalbard and Jan Mayen, Sweden, Denmark & Greenland / 2025 / World Premiere / 29 min
Mud can tell us a lot about the planet's deep past and possible future - and here is the film that translates its silent language into an imaginative stream of thought.
The Earth is moving beneath our feet. Climatic changes have planetary consequences, and where visual artists of the 20th century were more concerned with landscapes, artist Rikke Luther has turned to a more recent phenomenon: mudscapes.
‘Dust & Flow’ is an interdisciplinary and thought-provoking film with a huge intellectual wingspan that gives shape to the liquid stuff of mud and analyzes what it means for our perception of geology and climate, but also of contemporary political and social movements. For his magnificent images from Iceland, Gotland and Svalbard, Luther has written an original text that actor David Bateson performs on the soundtrack.
