What does the tide mean, and could it be trying to tell us something? Multimedia artist Signe Lidén reflects on both ancient and emerging knowledge across disciplines and cultures that understands the tide as more than just a mechanical phenomenon.
While recording sounds on the dunes of an island off Denmark, Lidén was surprised by the rapid rise in sea level without being able to see the change from moment to moment. She has since devoted herself to studying the tide, recording an entire tidal zone using a 28-metre canvas as a microphone, and noticing the different sense of time she gets through close and extended listening. Could a deeper connection to the tide offer new ways of sensing and relating to the world around us, and help us to grasp the scale of environmental change that is happening in it?

If you read my ‘Favorite Films of 2020’ column late last year, you know how much I admired my number one film,
Buoyancy. A bleak tale of 21st century slavery in Southeast Asia, the film depicted terrible events in fraught scenes that wouldn’t seem out of place in a horror film.
Though taking place half a world away, I couldn’t help but be reminded of
Buoyancy as I watched
Sin señas particulares (
Identifying Features, streaming via the Virtual Roxie and Pacific Film Archive). Despite being a neo-realistic examination of 21st century life in what we still disparagingly refer to as ‘the developing world’, the film successfully adapts horror genre tropes to an otherwise grimly believable tale.
