My Frontier Is an Endless Wall of Points

Synopsis

My Frontier Is an Endless Wall of Points is a film animation created from the mescaline drawings of Henri Michaux. Of all Michaux’s work, these drawings are most frequently described as “a venture into foreign territory.” Koester’s film is an exploration of a vast world on the borderline of words, a journey into a plant alkoloid to explore an interior territory (of plant and mind) in the forms of Michaux’s rapidly moving images. "My work is an attempt to literally animate this idea. I examine the traces of this journey in a series of rapidly moving images, making what could be termed a “psychedelic documentary.” Joachim Koester
