In Overlap's Returning, the vast openness of the American wilderness is disrupted in the manner of a transmission, subject to outside interference. The moving image is a composite of twelve postcards whose lost and found images are visited, revisited and fragmented as they interact with a series of moving stripes, creating a textural complexity reminiscent of Hercules Seghers. Producing a series of scenes that sit on top of and intertwine with other, Overlap’s intervention makes for a mesmerising montage, which explores the invincibility and invisibleness of both natural world and produced image. As one after another the images are replaced by a new formation there develops an increasing sense of the impossibility of returning to the image that was there before.
