An upside-down time-lapse camera is moved frame by frame on a track along a beach inverting the ground and the sky. The camera moves through four shots recorded in different weather conditions. The result is a mysterious and disorienting space in accelerated time, where the originally solid ground at the top of the frame appears to be sliding past like a lava-stream. Proximity was shot on Super 16mm film on location in North Jutland, Denmark where the camera was placed upside-down on a small dolly and moved 1cm at a time by hand, and shot frame by frame.
