아나 이티 (Ana Iti), <바람에 휩쓸린 마른 신체> 및 <나는 소금 호수다>

뉴질랜드 카파라-테-하우(Kāpara-Te-Hau) 염호의 지리적 특성과 산업 공정을 시각 언어로 치환한다. 드론 푸티지와 추상적 도표, 1인칭 텍스트의 반복적 배치는 특정 장소와의 관계를 체화하는 학습 과정과도 같다. 가혹한 기후와 산업적 생산 방식이 중첩된 풍경 속에서 작가는 장소를 호명하는 언어의 한계를 실험하며, 신체적 호흡과 풍경의 리듬을 연결하는 감각적 지형도를 구축한다.

Ana Iti, A dry and windswept body (2025)

Single-channel video / Color / Sound, 5 min 5 sec

A dry and windswept body departs from I am a salt lake, returning to Kāpara- Te-Hau during the salt harvest. The video is composed from drone footage that moves above the lake, revealing its contours alongside the industrial processes operating on the site. As the drone scans the landscape, an accompanying audio track experiments with the textures and rhythms of breath, drawing a connection between the ruffled surface of the water and a soundscape structured by breathing.

Ana Iti, I am a salt lake (2023)

Single-channel video / Color / Sound, 12 min 35 sec

Ana Iti’s film brings together footage from Kāpara-Te-Hau (the salt lakes in Te Tau Ihu), abstracted diagrams drawn on glass, and a first person text. These three elements recur, something like the pattern-based process of learning where you  repeat a sentence or bar of music until it is embodied, becomes part of you. I am a salt lake also registers the difficulty of finding language sufficient to articulate the relationship with the different whenua, seas, lakes, winds, houses, that the artist passes through.
