Heads or Tails?

Australian coins provide a set of instructions that question how to live in a capitalist colonial society in the time of climate uncertainty. Head or Tails was shot on a hand wound Bolex following self-imposed instructions over a single roll of film. Setting the focus to close range, I let the flip of a coin decide which direction the camera “walked”. The camera, fixed to a mono-pod, strides through the landscape till the film wind or path runs out.
