Synopsis

Sculptor John Greer and filmmaker Stewart Applegath set out in a rowboat, armed with a camera and no specific destination. Over six years, they traveled significant distances, capturing Greer’s experiences intertwined with his struggle against anxiety. Greer’s sculptures, described as visually simple yet conceptually complex, reflect his affinity for Jonathan Swift’s idea of a "man of objects." Applegath’s approach to filmmaking embraces words, contrasting with Greer’s silent art.
