In Quiet Zone, David Bryant and Karl Lemieux transform the experiences of people afflicted with electromagnetic hypersensitivity into a synesthetic audio-visual essay. An empty field. A quiet village. A simple house. A place to escape from the attacks of encroaching technology. But distortion. But distress. The material of the film strip melts and shifts before our eyes. Inaudible soundscapes break into our hearing range. What was invisible in the cinematic medium comes to the fore and reveals itself to have been everywhere all the time. We get a feeling for the invisible waves that envelope the world which we now inhabit but soon get the impression that it’s the waves that may in fact inhabit us.
