Who by Water (Bill Morrison, 2007)
A film by Bill Morrison
Music: Michael Gordon
Running time: 18 minutes
Who By Water draws on archival footage in which ship passengers are depicted staring wordlessly into the camera’s lens, through a veil of deteriorating emulsion. We examine these anonymous faces: rich, poor, young, old, celebrated or incidental. In staring back at them, we contemplate our own fate.
