Ponderosa’s digital archive is a mysterious jungle. It consists of thousands of video documentations, which were recorded in the past 20 years from different points of views. In the past months we were venturing through this jungle, looking for sonic spaces that made our hearts beat and for movements that stirred something up in us. We both hold Ponderosa dear as it held space for our liberation and for building meaningful relationships. Our dream was to create a tactile movie that gives an impression of the spirit and experience of Ponderosa in order to share it with others. What is possible, and what could also be us.
This movie is one way to touch the archive, and it is an open invitation for interested others to dive into it and explore it through their own unique curiosities.
