Exploring documentary in a multidisciplinary and broad sense including soundscapes, sculpture, curator discussions, and expanded cinema events.
“I mostly just make films to relax”, he said.
One of the main focuses of his work consists of the act of exploring and documenting landscapes and buildings that can fall into a dreamlike pattern as natural repetitions and synchronicities emerge. This dialogue often goes unconsciously, giving the building a strange and distant, almost human-like personality. This is an example of how the physical documentation of one space with a specific history and past can be translated into a completely different medium and establish relevance within its context.

Lucas Haynes’ Pancaroba Residency runs from early October to late December and is co-organised with Piring Tirbing.
