Seaing/Hereing is an ongoing project exploring sensory and emotional connections to the artists’ new home among the South West landscapes and seascapes, from a neurodivergent perspective of heightened and altered audio-visual experience. Working with moving image, voice, found sound and music experimentation, the work rediscovers relationships with nature, objects, and spaces, drawing from Merleau - Ponty's phenomenology, sensory contexts of neurodiversity, poetic and psychedelic cinema, as well as ideas around interconnectivity inspired by David Abram and Terrence McKenna. 

Sam and Patrycja’s collaborative process of gathering materials in altered states of intense sensory absorption, and editing within experimental structures, draws on an interplay of their neurodivergent perception with avant-garde, poetic, and structural flicker film.  

The soundtracks are created solely from modified field recordings on the sites of filming, and explore relationships with nature, landscapes, and objects which we form through our senses, beyond logical and linear thought. 

At Elevation Film Festival, Seaing/Hereing is presented as an expanded cinema event, inviting the altered state of absorption in sensory depths.
