Sky Hopinka interweaves landscapes filmed during his travels with layers of audio, poetry, and music. In this enigmatic piece, the artist refuses the ordering structure of a linear narrative, instead structuring the work around the idea of a mnemonic, a device meant to trigger memory. He creates a soundscape where language, vision, and sonic forms interact to reflect on ideas of spirituality tied to the land and Ho-Chunk sacred stories. The artist describes the piece as a "poetic meandering around the histories imbued in these places but also mnemonics for other spaces and emotional registers that are difficult to describe but feel like they're present everywhere."
