‘Selected Findings’ juxtaposes a variety of flora and fauna documented around the city of San Francisco. In the film, contrasting textures – raccoon fur, dewy plant life, gritty pavement, undulating water – and vibrant colors invite viewers to lose themselves in the miniature worlds created by close examination. The soundtrack – a dreamy duet between electric guitar and flugelhorn – oscillates between playful inquisitiveness and somber contemplation.

The piece presents a meditation on the act of seeing, alternating between lingering on minute details and speeding through a blur of imagery. ‘Selected Findings’ experiments with various fanciful layouts, arranging visuals in overlays, picture-in-picture windows, and irregular grids.
