Synopsis
An empty swimming pool sits against the backdrop of a ravine in the Mojave Desert. This pool, covered in graffiti, was once part of a yacht club that quickly faded. In July, Wong presents four recordings from the Sonoran and Mojave deserts of Southern California. The film contrasts natural landscapes with abandoned habitats and trailer parks near the Salton Sea. Images of Joshua Trees accompany the scenes, reflecting on human attempts to thrive in extreme conditions.
