About this title
This film explores 'transformation by fire' as a process central to Javanese bronze gong smithing and the volcanic origins of the Indonesian islands. It was made in collaboration with Indonesian experimentalists Senyawa, and is a composite of film shot on a bolex in Java, 16mm found footage collage, direct animation, and optically printed material.
