During all of my treks, I was most surprised by what I was drawn towards capturing. I've done lots of work with video before, but all of my projects have focused around some sort of narrative or human figurative subject. I decided right away to include as little human subject as possible in my field recordings and visual content.
What began to happen was unexpected... shadows, lights, patterns and textures in architecture and machinery began to take on a sort of life, becoming the "stars" of my films. The hums and buzzes of electrical devices became voices, characters acting out an abstracted dialog.
Editing these audio and visual components together was like directing a play or a film completely cast of inanimate objects. But I was actually able to animate these objects through the media itself.
