Tal Rosner

Inspired by a poem by Josef Albers, Without You is a visual exploration of London's industrial suburbia. Focusing on an imaginary circle drawn at a 10 mile radius from Charing Cross where the natural and man-made environments lie side by side in harmonic indifference, the film follows a colour-coded and surface-determined path where identifiable or 'simple' forms are sculpted and submerged into one another, resolved only through the abstraction of their immense revealed complexity.
