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 forestâs ashes. Each frame carries physical traces of the landâs memory, blending destruction with resilience. The soundscapeâfield recordings, burned wood, contact microphones on trees, and the presence of fireâechoes the forestâs wounds. A reflection on human impact, impermanence, and the haunting beauty of transformation.
