Things many have eyes seen

2025 · 25 min · Mystery

A flickering diary of time, memory, and erosion, «Things Many Eyes Have Seen» unfolds over a month on an island. Hand-processed in salty seawater, its 16mm images dissolve and transform. The landscape flashes by in broken frames of light and shadow, as if the world itself was stuttering between memory and motion. A meditation on seeing and being seen, the film lingers like a fading dream, where observer and landscape blur into one.

Directed by Yannick Mosimann

Borametz—half plant, half animal—a hybrid of the incurable vegetable lamb, firmly rooted to the ground as a four-legged plant, complaining about nature—what does it want to tell us, standing there in the drizzling rain, inconsolable and indignant, as it speaks for the last time?

The „Haelgung“ films are charmingly impressionistic diary entries, crafted as mini homages to my closest friends, captured with a delightful lack of planning or structure and edited in camera.

Wounded Edges

MovieDocumentaryMystery
In July 2022, a forest fire broke out on Monte Gambarogno in Ticino, Switzerland. Wound Edges is my emotional response to this landscape, filmed on 16mm and hand-developed with the forest’s ashes. Each frame carries physical traces of the land’s memory, blending destruction with resilience. The soundscape—field recordings, burned wood, contact microphones on trees, and the presence of fire—echoes the forest’s wounds. A reflection on human impact, impermanence, and the haunting beauty of transformation.

Recreational Forest

Movie
An audiovisual documentation about an urban recreation area. Slowly the view moves through the forest. Except for some small hints, the visual level creates the feeling of moving in the middle of nature. The difference between sound and image becomes more and more noticeable. The sequences thus comment on the gap between the human idea of nature and the actual, artificial appearance of the forest.

During a 6-hour performance and in a additional Film, REA and Yannick Mosimann dedicate themselves to the stretching of time and space based on observations of different trees. The tree, the mammoth of floral time, seems to be a gnarled, proud and place-bound existence, nevertheless in low-frequency, flowing movement. Breathing is here a symbol of time and rhythm, carrier of tonal frequencies of our vocal cords.
