A whalebone box found washed up on the shore. Is it an enigmatic object containing a secret? A survivor from a shipwreck? It was given to Iain Sinclair, Kötting#39;s walking companion on his latest jaunt themed film. They set out on an expedition to take this box to its place of origin, a beach on the Isle of Harris in Scotland#39;s Outer Hebrides. Artist Eden Kötting helps shape the film, and in many ways it#39;s an ode to her indomitable spirit. Shot using mainly super 8 and super 8 apps and incorporating elements of archive and pinhole photography, The Whalebone Box celebrates the notion of the home-made but is also an idiosyncratic road map.Elements of the Box:THE WHALEBONE BOX TRAILER– 1 minute 30 seconds 2019 - Andrew KöttingBECAUSE THE REST IS SILENCE – 13 minutes 30 seconds – 2020 - Andrew KöttingAn hauntological gadabout inclusive of images and out-takes from the films EDITH WALKS, GALLIVANT, LEK AND THE DOGS & WATLING STREET.
