Losing Touch
The film depicts the internal dialogue on coping with the grief of ecological degradation. As the body and mind wander through the streets of Berlin, encounters over 24 hours depict a sensational, overstimulating cityscape. With multimedia recordings from a camcorder, beer developed film, and cyanotype, metal and flesh entangle themselves within and between the frames. Subverting the nature-culture dichotomy, the city and nature merge into a dirty, omnipresent force. What have we become?

Charlie Black is a filmmaker and animator from the U.K.. Her practice focuses on the ecology of lived spaces, documenting the complex relationships between humans and the rest of nature that manifest in our daily lives. Using research and imagination, her work values emotionally driven documentary, blurring the boundary between subjectivity and objectivity. She highlights this through emphasising the material quality of film, working with both analogue and digital materials.
