Bardo Tide

Bardo Tide (2020)

In the Buddhist tradition, Bardo is a liminal state between death and rebirth when one’s consciousness is not connected with the physical body yet experiences a variety of phenomena. Using this concept as a springboard, Enstrom and Warren have set out to make five short pieces that explore beauty, darkness and transcendence during this metaphoric time of bardo, when our normal way of life has become suspended. All sound was made utilizing Enstrom’s violins, voice, and samples and was produced and recorded by her in her home studio. All visuals were made with Warren’s 16mm Bolex film camera.
