Often set in restricted environments, whether self-constructed rooms or landscape features, his films challenge both participants and viewers in a basic, primordial way through the evocation of vertigo. This precondition of boundaries operates to expose the human body to elementary forces, while simultaneously documenting natural spectacles - for instance, sulphur mining in Eastern Java - in the tradition of the sublime. Besides critical analyses of his works, the book includes numerous images from films.
