Before and Above Us reconstructs historical police and military sound recordings as cinematic pictorial compositions within virtual environments, bringing documented events into relation with digital architecture. The sound of aircraft cuts through the wind, constantly shifting under an untraceable pressure of anxiety; the clatter of helicopters, distorted interpretations of folk music, soldiers’ voices, and the breaking of the sound barrier all emerge, with butterflies acting as unsettling moderators of the imagery. The order of reality and memory continuously shifts across perspectives with multiple points of origin. Spectral and fragile in their apparent banality, swarms of butterflies persist. Hovering over moments suspended between wonder and dread, facts dissolve into an abstract field, resonating loudly within collective recollection.
