For a fleeting moment, as we break through the surfaces of sleep, the threshold between dream state and wakefulness is blurred and we linger in the fluid membrane of time. Guided by the constant pulse of sprinkling water, vibrating voices, ticking time and silence, we navigate through lucid landscapes.
'hold still in passing places' is an intimate portrait of the body inhabited by wandering thoughts and softly bursting dreams. Questioning our corporal perception of time, the camera takes us on an associative exploration of the relation between time, nature and the human body, playfully peeling layers of wakefulness and repetition within our daily rhythms.
