Filmed in Malå, a Sámi community in Sweden during nights over the summer months, Marker was funded by Arts Council England with the support of Film London Artists Moving Image Network.

Marker (2009)

A line

slung in a coil

rope

watch it unfold

a snare when set

lasso when caught

a sound

spirals a thought

circles of ghosts forces and flows

a loop inside my name

unbounded and incomplete

diverging inside the same

a line from nested repeat

animal eye not wild and not tame

a moment is stretched inside a name

stirrup bone ungula sole

horn for a toe

I, let her go
