tectum argenti

Joanna Byrne
Film - 16mm: digitised and bismuth crystals

Shot within two miles of my home in Shipley, 'tectum argenti' is a magical moving meditation on healing from the past by reconnecting with the self in urban nature - made on 16mm film, home-processed and edited by hand. 'Tectum argenti' is the alchemical name of bismuth (Bi), meaning literally: "silver-being-made".
