Reality is multifaceted and we are never able to see everything at the same time. What we perceive instead, are levels of cognition that are variations of the same place.
This site on the Isle of Mull exists within different levels of contraction or relaxation, done by a subject, to the landscape. The more our consciousness contracts the elements together, the less degree of detail is shown. The contraction, however, is not a sequence of repetitive actions, but rather a fusion of elements into a coherent whole. It is the action that we are conducting constantly, establishing connections and forming space.
Each level contains a totality of elements but keeps them fused into different forms, different “wholes”, while the others remain obscured. Atoms do not constitute a rock, rocks and soil do not constitute a hill, hills and rivers do not constitute a valley, valleys and clouds do not constitute a storm.
The story takes us through three different levels: systematic order, circular order, and chaos. These spaces are constructed by taking bits of reality and combining them within the rooms of the AA, which are assembled through film.
The “alternative reality” is then created within the actual site, the “universal space” that contains everything at once.
