Gabriel White: Countdown Mountain

Countdown Mountain explores sprawling Tāmaki Makaurau over a 'lost year', 2021. Short video monologues, recorded by a wanderer, are alphabetically indexed as a quasi-encyclopaedia. In keeping with the etymological meaning of that word, “encyclopaedia”, this is a work that walks us around in circles. The entries reimagine the mundane world, subjecting it to ultramundane interpretations that can be dark, lyrical, or hilarious. Whether one views a single clip, or watches them all, the imagination gets to stretch its legs.
