Materia transforms ordinary objects into vast terrains of texture and light. Through macro and microscopic imagery, the film explores the hidden kinship between the human body and the mineral world.

Director's Statement

An experimental short film exploring found objects and my immediate surroundings, created using a macro lens and a small handheld digital microscope that allowed me to enter visual territories beyond ordinary cinematography. Some objects, including stones from an earlier stop-motion work, reappear here in new contexts. Images of skin and hair are juxtaposed with stones, highlighting shared material qualities between bodies and landscapes and suggesting that human body is part of geological history. At macro and microscopic scales, familiar surfaces become abstract terrains, where textures act as material fingerprints, blurring scientific observation with poetic cinematic perception.
